Endophytic bacteria associated with turmeric, ginger and white radish exhibit dual roles as producers of antibacterial metabolites and carriers of multidrug resistance
The increasing global burden of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) necessitates the exploration of unconventional microbial niches for novel bioactive compounds. Simultaneously, it is also necessary to evaluate their role in the dissemination of resistant bacteria through the food chain. Endophytic bacteria inhabiting edib...
