The master activator of IncA/C conjugative plasmids stimulates genomic islands and multidrug resistance dissemination.

The master activator of IncA/C conjugative plasmids stimulates genomic islands and multidrug resistance dissemination.

Dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes occurs mostly by conjugation, which mediates DNA transfer between cells in direct contact. Conjugative plasmids of the IncA/C incompatibility group have become a substantial threat due to their broad host-range, the extended spectrum of antimicrobial resi...
