An ABC Transporter Is Required for Secretion of Peptide Sex Pheromones in Enterococcus faecalis

24 Sept 2014

Abstract excerpt

UNLABELLED: Enterococci are leading causes of hospital-acquired infection in the United States and continue to develop resistances to new antibiotics. Many Enterococcus faecalis isolates harbor pheromone-responsive plasmids that mediate horizontal transfer of even large blocks of chromosomal genes, resulting in hospital-adapted strains over a quarter of whose genomes consist of mobile elements. Pheromones to...
