Subinhibitory Concentration of Colistin Promotes the Conjugation Frequencies of Mcr-1- and blaNDM-5-Positive Plasmids

ABSTRACT Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) plays a significant role in the spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Most reported compounds promote HGT by increasing the cell membrane permeability. Colistin has been reported to increase the cell membrane permeability when exhibiting its antibacter...
