Fitness cost of a mcr-1-carrying IncHI2 plasmid.
PLoS ONE, 2018 IncHI2 is a common type of large mcr-1-carrying plasmids that have been found worldwide. Large plasmids could impose metabolic burden for host bacterial strains, we therefore examine the stability and fitness cost of a mcr-1-carrying 265.5-kb IncHI2 ...
