Is ICE hot? A genomic comparative study reveals integrative and conjugative elements as “hot” vectors for the dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes
30 Nov 2023
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT The dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) driven by mobile genetic elements (MGEs), especially among pathogenic bacteria, is of increasing global concern. Different from other well-characterized MGEs, integrative and conjugative elements (ICEs) have been lacking a comprehensive understanding of their roles in ARG propagation across bacterial phylogenies. Through genomic study based on a...
