Multiplication of <i>ampC</i> upon Exposure to a Beta-Lactam Antibiotic Results in a Transferable Transposon in <i>Escherichia coli</i>

Plasmids play a crucial role in spreading antimicrobial resistance genes. Plasmids have many ways to incorporate various genes. By inducing amoxicillin resistance in <i>Escherichia coli</i>, followed by horizontal gene transfer experiments and sequencing, we show that the chromosomal bet...
