Certain antibiotic-resistant infections could be treated with precision medicine in the future, thanks to a new resource mapping plasmids the ultimate vehicle of rapid bacterial evolution.

The first-of-its-kind in-depth bacterial evolutionary map could pave the way for the development of precision treatments for certain antibiotic-resistant infections, such as urinary tract infections.

The study, published in Nature Communications, also uncovered a plasmid found in multiple strains of E. coli that allows them to produce a toxin to kill other closely related bacteria, which could ...
