CO2 promotes the conjugative transfer of multiresistance genes by facilitating cellular contact and plasmid transfer
The dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), especially via the plasmid-mediated conjugation, is becoming a pervasive global health threat. This study reported that this issue can be worse by CO2, as increased CO2 was found to facilitate the conjugative transfer of ARGs carried on plasmi...
