Dissecting horizontal and vertical gene transfer of antibiotic resistance plasmid in bacterial community using microfluidics
The spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) has become an emerging threat to the global health. Although horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is regarded as one of the major pathways, more evidence has shown the significant involvement of vertical gene transfer (VGT). However, traditional cultivation...
