Using bacterial DNA sequencing data to investigate the epidemiology of plasmid-mediated antibiotic resistance
Bacterial plasmids are extra-chromosomal genetic elements, which can act as efficient vectors of antibiotic resistance. Epidemiological insight into plasmids may be gained by applying plasmid typing schemes, which exploit loci involved in replication and mobility functions (replicon and MOB typing,...
