42% livestock plasmids carried carbapenem resistance (compared with 12% human plasmids); conversely, tetracycline resistance was enriched in
2018
Adding an antibiotic resistance gene to the plasmid solves both problems at once – it allows a scientist to easily detect plasmid-containing bacteria when the cells are grown on selective media, and
Plasmid-mediated resistance is the transfer of antibiotic resistance genes which are carried on plasmids
antibiotic resistance through the duplication of antibiotic resistance genes
Bacteria causing human infections can develop antibiotic resistance due to various factors
The prevalence of plasmid-mediated resistance to tetracycline, and to a lesser extent penicillin, is high and neither drug is likely to have any future role in the treatment of
However, the mechanisms for plasmid-mediated tetracycline resistance are not yet clear, and there seems to be no degradation of the antibiotic in resistant cells10,12,13
It occurs after restriction digest and ligation and transfers newly made plasmids to bacteria
Intrinsic resistance may be defined as a trait that is shared universally within a bacterial species, is independent of previous The presence of an antibiotic resistance gene is a mechanism to culture only bacteria which have retained a functional copy of your plasmid of interest, preventing this issue
Tetracycline resistance site – this gene degrades the
Knowledge on types of plasmids and the antibiotic resistance genes they harbor is useful in monitoring the emergence and spread of bacterial antibiotic resistance
High-level gonococcal penicillin and tetracycline resistance in the sampled Kenyan regions was found to be mediated by plasmid borne blaTEM and tetM genes
Res A gives resistance to antibiotic A, res B to antibiotic B and so on
subtilis minicells
gonorrhoeae strains at Resistance to tetracycline emerged soon after its discovery six decades ago
The ori is the place where DNA replication begins, enabling a plasmid to reproduce itself as it must to survive within cells
Splice transfer is the process of plasmid exchange between bacteria through direct or indirect contact
Plasmids vary in size and can provide antibiotic resistance genes (ARG) or phage resistance to their host
