DESCRIPTION:PhD Oral Defence of Anna Colavecchio\, Food Science and Agricul
 tural Chemistry\n\nEach year\, approximately 700\,000 deaths worldwide are
  attributed to antibiotic resistance (AR)\, and this number is predicted t
 o rise to 10 million by 2050. Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) can be fo
 und on mobile genetic elements (MGEs)\, including a novel MGE\, termed pha
 ge-like plasmid (PLP)\, which is a phage/plasmid hybrid that exists extrac
 hromosomally within bacterial cells. The objective of this study was to de
 velop a better understanding of PLP genomic structure and biology\, by foc
 using on two main objectives: First\, the genomic characterization of PLPs
  to determine their taxonomic structure and the types of ARGs and HMR gene
 s that they carry. Second\, phenotypic analysis of the potential of PLPs t
 o horizontally transfer ARGs and HMR genes by phage-mediated mechanisms\, 
 such as transduction\, or plasmid-mediated mechanisms\, such as transforma
 tion and conjugation\, in order to determine whether they can confer resis
 tance to antibiotics and heavy metals.\n\nEveryone in the 91ºÚÁÏÍø community
  is welcome to attend a PhD oral defence. Please join us in celebrating th
 e accomplishments of our PhD candidates.\n
