Copper nanoparticles and copper ions promote horizontal transfer of plasmid-mediated multi-antibiotic resistance genes across bacterial genera.
235
TL;DR: In conclusion, this study reports both CuO NPs and copper ions (Cu2+) could stimulate the conjugative transfer of multiple-drug resistance genes and suggests the over-production of reactive oxygen species played a crucial role in promoting conjugatives transfer.

Ji Lu,Yue Wang,Jie Li,Likai Mao,Son Hoang Nguyen,Tania Duarte,Lachlan J. M. Coin,Philip L. Bond,Zhiguo Yuan,Jianhua Guo +9 more
TL;DR: Investigating whether triclosan (TCS), a widely-used NAAM chemical in personal care products, is able to stimulate the conjugative transfer of antibiotic multi-resistance genes carried by plasmid within and across bacterial genera found it could enhance the conjugal ARGs transfer between bacteria by triggering ROS overproduction at environmentally relevant concentrations.
