Evaluation of Live Bacterial Prophylactics to Decrease IncF Plasmid Transfer and Association With Intestinal Small RNAs

Chicken intestinal Escherichia coli are a reservoir for virulence and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes that are often carried on incompatibility group F (IncF) plasmids. The rapid transfer of these plasmids between bacteria in the gut contributes to the emergence of new multidrug-resistant and v...
