Genotypic characterization of multi-drug resistant coliform bacteria: Insights into their mechanisms of antibiotic resistance using Whole Genome Sequencing
Anthropogenically polluted water is a potential reservoir for pathogenic microorganisms and micro-contaminants like antibiotics. Due to the selective pressure of antibiotics, resident bacteria tend to acquire resistance mechanisms through mutations, genome rearrangements and horizontal gene transfer...
