Development of a stable microbial community for the study of plasmid-mediated antimicrobial resistance in a continuous culturing device

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is a major contributor to the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in microbial communities, particularly through conjugative plasmids. The dynamics of the spread of these plasmids in a susceptible microbial community requires a defined and controllable in vitro system, which is curre...
