Functional genomics to identify the factors contributing to successful persistence and global spread of an antibiotic resistance plasmid

BACKGROUND: The spread of bacterial plasmids is an increasing global problem contributing to the widespread dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes including β-lactamases. Our understanding of the details of the biological mechanisms by which these natural plasmids are able to persist in bacter...
