Abstract excerpt

IS630 is a 1.15-kilobase sequence in Shigella sonnei that, unlike many mobile elements, seems not to mediate cointegration between different replicons. To assess its transposition, we constructed composite elements containing inverted copies of IS630 flanking a drug resistance gene. We found that...
