Abstract excerpt
Many Bacteroides clinical isolates carry large conjugative transposons that, in addition to transferring themselves, excise, circularize, and transfer smaller, unlinked chromosomal DNA segments called NBUs (nonreplicating Bacteroides units). We report the localization and DNA sequence of a region of one of the NBUs, NBU1, that was necessary and sufficient for mobilization by Bacteroides conjugative transposons...
