| Popis: | Abundant antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are typically found in mercury (Hg)-contaminated aquatic environments. This phenomenon is partly attributed to the co-resistance, cross-resistance, and shared regulatory responses to Hg and antibiotics. However, it remains unclear whether and how Hg influences the conjugative transfer of ARGs mediated by mobilizable plasmids. In the present study, we found that Hg |
