gene coexistence
Research Article | Therapeutics and PreventionCoexistence of Antibiotic Resistance Genes and Virulence Factors Deciphered by Large-Scale Complete Genome AnalysisAntibiotic resistance has become a serious global health concern. Despite numerous case studies, a comprehensive analysis of ARG and VF coexistence in bacteria is lacking. In this study, we explore the coexistence profiles of ARGs and VFs in diverse categories of bacteria by using a high-resolution bioinformatics approach. We also provide compelling evidence of unique ARG-VF gene pairs coexisting in specific bacterial genomes and reveal...
