TL;DR: This study demonstrates that the regulation of a mechanism of MDR and expression of virulence genes show considerable overlap, and postulate that such a mechanism is dependent on transcriptional activator concentration and promoter sensitivity, but there is no evidence to support the hypothesis that increased MDR via RamA regulation of AcrAB-TolC gives rise to a hypervirulent strain.

TL;DR: This plasmid is disseminated worldwide in Escherichia coli isolated from humans and animals.

TL;DR: Carriage of pCT was found to impose no detectable fitness cost on various bacterial hosts and an absence of antibiotic pressure and inactivation of the antibiotic resistance gene also had no effect on plasmid persistence, conjugation frequency, or bacterial-host biology.

TL;DR: Results indicate that CTC can exacerbate ceftiofur resistance following CCFA therapy and therefore should be avoided, especially when considering their use in sequence.

TL;DR: It is shown that LES phages are capable of horizontal gene transfer by infecting P. aeruginosa strains from different sources and that type IV pili are required for infection by all three phages.
