Abstract excerpt
Macrolide and tetracycline resistance in streptococci is mainly caused by acquisition of integrative and conjugative elements (ICEs) of the ICESa2603 family carrying erm(B) and tet(O). But the characteristics about the transferability and physiological consequences of ICEs with triplet serine integrases are still rare. This study tested the transferability of ICESsuYZDH1_SSU0877, a novel erm(B)- and...
