Gut environments harbour dense microbial ecosystems in which plasmids are widely distributed. Plasmids facilitate the exchange of genetic material among microorganisms while enabling the transfer of a diverse array of accessory functions. However, their precise impact on microbial community compo...
This study aimed to elucidate the metabolic process of IncX3 plasmid within conjugated strains, by utilizing untargeted LC-MS/MS profiling. In this study, the blaNDM-5-carrying IncX3 plasmid was successfully conjugated into Escherichia coli J53, which was confirmed to enhance both carbap...
