A plasmid is a small, circular, double-stranded DNA molecule that is distinct from a cell's chromosomal DNA. Plasmids naturally exist in bacterial cells, and they also occur in some eukaryotes.

This resistance mechanism relies on plasmids, small circular DNA elements. Antimicrobial resistance poses serious public health issues, with thousands of deaths each year. These infections often occur ...
