Mobility of β-Lactam Resistance Under Bacterial Co-infection and Ampicillin Treatment in a Mouse Model

Mobility of β-Lactam Resistance Under Bacterial Co-infection and Ampicillin Treatment in a Mouse Model

Ingestion of food- or waterborne antibiotic-resistant bacteria may lead to the dissemination of antibiotic-resistance genes in the gut microbiota and the development of antibiotic-resistant bacterial infection, a significant threat to animal and public health. Food or water may be contaminated with...
