SHIP: identifying antimicrobial resistance gene transfer between plasmids

Marco Teixeira,
Stephanie Pillay,
Aysun Urhan
et al.

Abstract: Motivation Plasmids are carriers for antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes and can exchange genetic material with other structures, contributing to the spread of AMR. There is no reliable approach to identify the transfer of AMR genes across plasmids. This is mainly due to the absence of a method to assess the phylogenetic distance of plasmids, as they show large DNA sequence variability. Identifying and quantifying such transfer can provide novel insight into the role of small mobile elements… Show more

“…A schematic diagram of representative ARGs and MGEs is shown in Figure 6. Presence of IncX3 and IncP-6 Plasmid Replicon Types Plasmids have the ability to transfer AMR genes to other bacteria, which can speed up the spread and evolution of bacterial pathogens (Teixeira et al, 2023). Antimicrobial resistance genes in P. aeruginosa and other Gramnegative bacteria are largely transferred by the IncP-6 and IncX3 plasmids.…”
