Growth in a biofilm promotes conjugation of a bla(NDM-1)-bearing plasmid between Klebsiella pneumoniae strains

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing problem, especially in Gram-negative Enterobacteriaceae such as Klebsiella pneumoniae. Horizontal transfer of conjugative plasmids contributes to AMR gene dissemination. Bacteria such as K. pneumoniae commonly exist in biofilms, yet most studies focus on p...
