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 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ community
  is welcome to attend a PhD oral defence. Please join us in celebrating th
 e accomplishments of our PhD candidates.\n
