Abstract excerpt
The known genomic islands of Pseudomonas aeruginosa clone C strains are integrated into tRNA(Lys) (pKLC102) or tRNA(Gly) (PAGI-2 and PAGI-3) genes and differ from their core genomes by distinctive tetranucleotide usage patterns. pKLC102 and the related island PAPI-1 from P. aeruginosa PA14 were spontaneously mobilized from their host chromosomes at frequencies of 10% and 0.3%, making pKLC102 the most mobile...
