Mechanism of chromosomal transfer of Enterococcus faecalis pathogenicity island, capsule, antimicrobial resistance, and other traits.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 6 Jul 2010

Manson Janet M, Hancock Lynn E, Gilmore Michael S

Abstract excerpt

The Enterococcus faecalis pathogenicity island (PAI) encodes known virulence traits and >100 additional genes with unknown roles in enterococcal biology. Phage-related integration and excision genes, and direct repeats flanking the island, suggest it moves as an integrative conjugative element (ICE). However, transfer was observed not to require these genes. Transfer only occurred from donors possessing a...
