Screening for highly transduced genes in <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> reveals both lateral and specialized transduction
2020-10-29
Abstract excerpt
Bacteriophage-mediated transduction of bacterial DNA is a major route of horizontal gene transfer in the human pathogen, Staphylococcus aureus . Transduction involves packaging of bacterial DNA by viruses and enables transmission of virulence and resistance genes between cells. To learn more about transduction in S. aureus , we searched a transposon mutant library for genes and mutations that enhanced transfer m...
