Enterococcus faecalis DS5.Enterococcus faecalis DS5 (ATCC 14508)is resistant to erythromycin and tetracycline and will be used for comparative analysis.
Rapid dissemination of the plasmid-born polymyxin resistance gene mcr-1 poses a critical medical challenge. MCR-1 expression is tightly controlled and imposes a fitness cost on the bacteria. We used g
This project involved sequencing NDM positive Enterobacteriaceae of various genera and species to look at the NDM plasmids they carried and the extent that these were shared. 'Plasmid outbreaks' where
