Acanthamoeba castellanii Can Facilitate Plasmid Transfer Between Environmental Pseudomonas spp

Journal of Basic Microbiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The conditions in which antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes are transferred in natural environments are poorly understood. Acanthamoeba castellanii (a cosmopolitan environmental amoeba) feeds on bacteria by phagocytosis, which places the consumed bacteria closely together in a food vacuole (phagosome) of the amoeba.
