Abstract:Antimicrobial resistance is widely recognized as a serious global public health problem. To combat this threat, a thorough understanding of bacterial genomes is necessary. The current wide availability of bacterial genomes provides us with an in-depth understanding of the great variability of dispensable genes and their relationship with antimicrobials. Some of these accessory genes are those involved in CRISPR-Cas systems, which are acquired immunity systems that are present in part of bacterial genomes. They… Show more
