Genetic determinants of pOXA-48 plasmid maintenance and propagation in Escherichia coli

Abstract Conjugative plasmids are the main drivers of antibiotic resistance dissemination contributing to the emergence and extensive spread of multidrug resistance clinical bacterial pathogens. pOXA-48 plasmids, belonging to the IncL group, emerge as the primary vehicle for carbapenem resistance in...
