To increase our basic understanding of the ecology and evolution of conjugative plasmids,
we need reliable estimates of their rate of transfer between bacterial cells. Current assays to …

Probiotics are pivotal in maintaining or restoring the balance of human intestinal microbiota,
a crucial factor in mitigating diseases and preserving the host's health. Exploration into …

Protozoa, as primary predators of soil bacteria, represent an overlooked natural driver in the
dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes. However, the effects of protozoan predation on …

Conjugation is a central characteristic of plasmid biology and an important mechanism of
horizontal gene transfer in bacteria. However, there is little consensus on how to accurately …

Antibiotic resistance (AR) is one of the major health threats of our time. The presence of
antibiotics in the environment and their continuous release from sewage treatment plants …

Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are abundant in diverse ecosystems and the resistome
may constitute a health threat for humans and animals. It is necessary to uncover ARGs and …

Resistance to antimicrobials is a growing problem of worldwide concern. Plasmids are
