A megaplasmid family driving dissemination of multidrug resistance in Pseudomonas
The emergence of multidrug resistance (MDR) in bacteria represents a global threat to human health. Here, Cazares et al. identify a family of MDR megaplasmids carrying large arrays of antibiotic resistance genes in Pseudomonas strains from various sources, including P. aeruginosa clinical isolates.
