Horizontal transfer and evolution of wall teichoic acid gene cassettes in Bacillus subtilis

2021-05-07

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Wall teichoic acid (WTA) genes are essential for production of cell walls in gram-positive bacteria and necessary for survival and variability in the cassette has led to recent antibiotic resistance acquisition in pathogenic bacteria. <h4>Methods: </h4>: Using a pan-genome approach, we examined the evolutionary history of WTA genes in Bacillus subtilis ssp. subtilis . <h4>Results:...
