Evaluation of Potential ARG Packaging by Two Environmental T7-Like Phage during Phage-Host Interaction

Evaluation of Potential ARG Packaging by Two Environmental T7-Like Phage during Phage-Host Interaction

The increase in antimicrobial resistance is a threat to both human and animal health. The transfer of antibiotic resistance genes (ARG) via plasmids has been studied in detail whereas the contribution of bacteriophage-mediated ARG transmission is relatively little explored. We isolated and character...
