Exposure to arsenic and cadmium promotes conjugative transfer of plasmid-borne antibiotic resistance genes among soil microbiota

open access: yesEcotoxicology and Environmental Safety
The spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) via horizontal gene transfer (HGT) poses a major global health threat. While cadmium (Cd) is known to influence ARG transfer in pure cultures, the effects of arsenic (As) and As-Cd co-exposure on plasmid ...
