Acinetobacter insertion sequence ISAba11 belongs to a novel family that encodes transposases with a signature HHEK motif.

Abstract excerpt

Experimental and in silico PCR analysis targeting ISAba11 and TnAbaR islands in 196 epidemiologically unrelated Acinetobacter strains representative of ≥19 species were performed. The first two Acinetobacter baumannii ISAba11 elements identified had been found to map to the same site on TnAbaR transposons. However, no further evidence of physical linkage between the two elements was demonstrated. Indeed,...
