Co-occurrence of resistance genes to antibiotics, biocides and metals reveals novel insights into their co-selection potential

BACKGROUND: Antibacterial biocides and metals can co-select for antibiotic resistance when bacteria harbour resistance or tolerance genes towards both types of compounds. Despite numerous case studies, systematic and quantitative data on co-occurrence of such genes on plasmids and chromosomes is lac...
