Mycoplasmas under experimental antimicrobial selection: The unpredicted contribution of horizontal chromosomal transfer
/in Highlights /by EricResearchers from IHAP and their colleagues at ANSES and the University of Melbourne have demonstrated that some mycoplasmas have the capacity to exchange virtually any part of their genome via a form of sexual behavior. This was further shown to play a role in accelerating the acquisition of chromosomal mutations conferring antimicrobial resistance in ruminant, pathogenic Mycoplasmas. Faucher M., Nouvel […]
