Selection of a Multidrug Resistance Plasmid by Sublethal Levels of Antibiotics and Heavy Metals

How sublethal levels of antibiotics and heavy metals select for clinically important multidrug resistance plasmids is largely unknown. Carriage of plasmids generally confers substantial fitness costs, implying that for the plasmid-carrying bacteria to be maintained in the population, the plasmid cos...
