Introduction of Plasmid to the Murine Gut via Consumption of an Escherichia coli Carrier and Examining the Impact of Bacterial Dosing and Antibiotics on Persistence
Purpose: We examine the impacts of dosing strategies of plasmids on bacterial communities in the murine gut by measuring the quantity of plasmids in mouse feces. Methods: We fed mice carrier bacteria, E. coli, that contain plasmids with both a reporter gene and an antibiotic resistant gene. We varie...
