<i>Enterococcus faecalis</i> strains with compromised CRISPR-Cas defense emerge under antibiotic selection for a CRISPR-targeted plasmid
2017-11-16
Abstract excerpt
Enterococcus faecalis is a Gram-positive bacterium that natively colonizes the human gastrointestinal tract and opportunistically causes life-threatening infections. Multidrug-resistant (MDR) E. faecalis strains have emerged that are replete with mobile genetic elements (MGEs). Non-MDR E. faecalis strains frequently possess CRISPR-Cas systems, which reduce the frequency of mobile genetic element (MGE) acquisitio...
