The research is on plasmids, small, circular strands of DNA, that allow bacteria to share genes rapidly, and carry genes conferring antibiotic resistance.

Birmingham scientists have identified essential genetic code for a method called plasmid curing, which aims to 'displace' antibiotic resistance genes from bacteria. Plasmids, which are small ...
