Project description
 

Antimicrobial resistance is an ever-growing problem and is often encoded by antimicrobial resistance genes localised on mobile genetic elements such as plasmids. The aim of this project is to investigate if plasmids derived from Escherica coli are able to prevent the further spread of cephalosporin resistance genes.
