Transferrable Antibiotic Resistance Plasmids in Urban Coastal Wetlands

Abstract

The overarching hypothesis driving this research is that antibiotic resistance genes released into the natural environment through urban storm water may persist, creating a reservoir of resistance genes that have the potential to return to the human community through various vectors such as birds, insects, and fish. The specific aim of this Program Development grant is to assess the diversity of multidrug-resistance plasmids in sediments of two urban wetlands.
