Diversity and impact of broad host range plasmids in human gut

By rscPosted on Posted in News

https://academic.oup.com/nar/advance-article/doi/10.1093/nar/gkad498/7191423 https://english.cas.cn/newsroom/research_news/life/202306/t20230626_332439.shtml Human gut hosts a complex ecosystem comprising an intricate plasmidome with abundant undiscovered plasmids, driving horizontal gene transfer events. Broad host range (BHR) plasmids carrying fitness genes transfer between bacteria across distantly phylogenetic taxa, facilitating the adaptation of their hosts to varying environments. However, accurate identification of BHR plasmids in the gut is […]
