The Master Activator of IncA/C Conjugative Plasmids Stimulates Genomic Islands and Multidrug Resistance Dissemination

English version České info

Multidrug resistance is a major health concern that complicates treatments of even the most common infections caused by bacteria. In recent years, IncA/C plasmids have emerged and spread in bacteria infecting humans, food-producing animals and food products, driving at the same time the dissemination of a broad spectrum of antibiotic resistance genes in environmental and in clinical settings. In this study, we have characterized the regulatory pathway that governs IncA/C plasmid dissemination. We have found that AcaCD, the master activator complex encoded by these plasmids, is not only essential for the dissemination of IncA/C plasmids but also activates unrelated mobile genetic elements in bacterial genomes, thereby further promoting the interspecies propagation of multidrug resistance and other adaptive traits at a very high frequency.
