Pathogen invasion-dependent tissue reservoirs and plasmid-encoded antibiotic degradation boost plasmid spread in the gut
In particular, this should pertain to plasmid-encoded resistance genes encoding enzymes degrading antibiotics with an extra-cytoplasmic target (e.g. beta-lactamases). Extended spectrum beta-lactamases ...

Methyltransferase-Deficient Avian Flaviviruses Are Attenuated Due to Suppression of Viral RNA Translation and Induction of a Higher Innate Immunity
Tembusu virus (TMUV) (genus Flavivirus) is a causative agent of duck egg drop syndrome and has zoonotic potential. Here, we identified the in vitro activity of TMUV MTase and determined the effect of ...
