Inter-species population dynamics enhance microbial horizontal gene transfer and spread of antibiotic resistance

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) plays a major role in the spread of antibiotic resistance. Of particular concern are Acinetobacter baumannii bacteria, which recently emerged as global pathogens, with nosocomial mortality rates reaching 19–54% (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2013; Joly Gu...
