Antibiotic inhibition uncouples growth from horizontal gene transfer

Conjugative plasmids often encode resistance to multiple antibiotics, allowing a single mobile genetic element to transfer across diverse selective environments. This co-selection is often invoked to explain the persistence and spread of multidrug resistance, with antibiotic resistance genes encoded on the same plasmid...

Model-based evaluation of Targeted-Antibacterial-Plasmids (TAPs) transfer kinetics and resensitization of pOXA-48 carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli

Background Targeted-Antibacterial Plasmids (TAPs) are engineered mobile genetic elements that use bacterial conjugation to deliver selective CRISPR/Cas9 antibacterial activity against a specific target strain. Yet, the efficiency of TAPs is typically evaluated at a single time point, whereas the success of TAP-mediated...

Widespread immune systems protect bacteria against conjugative plasmids

A large-scale analysis of 364 diverse strains of the opportunistic pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii as recipients of the broad-host-range conjugative plasmids R388 and RP4 reveals an additional layer of bacterial immunity directed at a class of genetic elements driving dissemination of antibiotic resistance.
