Mobile elements, zoonotic pathogens and commensal bacteria: Conduits for the delivery of resistance genes into humans, production animals and soil microbiotia
Multiple antibiotic resistant pathogens represent a major clinical challenge in both the human and veterinary context. It is now well understood that the genes that encode resistance are context independent. That is, the same gene is commonly present in otherwise very disparate pathogens in both h...
