BIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE SUBSTANCES THAT BLOCK THE CONJUGATION PROCESS IN BACTERIA
Keywords:
bacterial conjugation, blaTEM, chicken juice, nanostructured lipid carriers, whey.Abstract
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in food matrices has been investigated under conditions that favor gene exchange. However, the major challenge lies in determining the specific conditions pertaining to the adapted microbial pairs associated with the food matrix. HGT is primarily responsible for enhancing the microbial repertoire for the evolution and spread of antimicrobial resistance and is a major target for controlling pathogens of public health concern in food ecosystems.
