An attenuated CRISPR-Cas system in <i>Enterococcus faecalis</i> permits DNA acquisition
2017-12-11
Abstract excerpt
Antibiotic resistant bacteria are critical public health concerns. Among the prime causative factors for the spread of antibiotic resistance is horizontal gene transfer (HGT). A useful model organism for investigating the relationship between HGT and antibiotic resistance is the opportunistic pathogen Enterococcus faecalis, since the species possesses highly conjugative plasmids that readily disseminate antibioti...
