Microbiology lovers, let's play a game without googling the question or asking ChatGPT.
A question about adaptive evolution: Do you think Salmonella does more mutations during the acute (early infection) or chronic phase in the human gut?

Behind every outbreak are real lives lost. Over the last couple of years, weโve been reminded, repeatedly and tragically, that foodborne bacteria still kill!

I like it this way! There was a programmer teaching us coding not in bioinformatics, but in data, business and python related (Correlation One Co.), we learned more because he was doing everything live in the session, even though he is a professional & expert, he made mistakes. It was so fun ๐

They naturally produce ARG while fighting against each other for survival.
I have a second question: you said in a comment that you find non-living plasmids, did they just left there in the environment and the bacteria can take it when it's possible?
Amazing! Well done ๐ Congratulations ๐
Did you find resistance genes before any use of antibiotics?

The smaller your genome, the less you need to replicate; small genomes save on carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus requirements, which can be limited in the open ocean."
