Plasmids have a key role in bacterial ecology and evolution because they mobilize
accessory genes by horizontal gene transfer. However, recent studies have revealed that …

Bacterial antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is constantly evolving and horizontal gene transfer
through plasmids plays a major role. The identification of plasmid characteristics and their …

Mobile genetic elements (MGEs) carrying antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) disseminate
ARGs when they mobilise into new bacterial hosts. The nature of such horizontal gene …

Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) are a serious public health threat.
Infections due to these organisms are associated with significant morbidity and mortality …

Globally, rates of ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae are rising. We undertook a literature
review, and present the temporal trends in bla CTX-M epidemiology, showing that bla CTX …

Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae are a major global
public health concern. Presently, Escherichia coli with CTX-Ms are the most common …

Genetic plasticity promotes evolution and a vast diversity in Escherichia coli varying from
avirulent to highly pathogenic strains, including the emergence of virulent hybrid …

Escherichia coli sequence type 131 (ST131) and Klebsiella pneumoniae ST258 emerged in
the 2000s as important human pathogens, have spread extensively throughout the world …

Surveillance studies have shown that OXA-48-like carbapenemases are the most common
