Abstract excerpt
The IncC family of broad-host-range plasmids enables the spread of antibiotic resistance genes among human enteric pathogens1-3. Although aspects of IncC plasmid conjugation have been well studied4-9, many roles of conjugation genes have been assigned based solely on sequence similarity. We applied hypersaturated transposon mutagenesis and transposon-directed insertion-site sequencing to determine the set of...
