DOI: 10.1007/978-1-4939-9877-7_6
Abstract: Plasmid conjugation is intimately linked to the transmission of antibiotic resistances, and many naturally occurring plasmids carry antibiotic resistance genes. Here we describe classical methods based on the transmission of antibiotic resistance determinants routinely used… read more here.
