Cloning and Expression of the Organophosphate Pesticide-Degrading α-β Hydrolase Gene in Plasmid pMK-07 to Confer Cross-Resistance to Antibiotics

Pesticide residual persistence in agriculture soil selectively increases the pesticide-degrading population and transfers the pesticide-degrading gene to other populations, leading to cross-resistance to a wide range of antibiotics. The enzymes that degrade pesticides can also catabolize the antibio...
