Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in gram-negative bacteria (GNBs) is a significant global health concern, exacerbated by mobile genetic elements (MGEs). This review examines the transfer of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) within and between different species of GNB facilitated by MGEs, focusing on the roles of plasmids and phages. The impact of non-antibiotic chemicals, environmental factors affecting ARG transfer frequency, and underlying molecular mechanisms of bacterial resistance evolution are also discussed.
