Global diversity of integrating conjugative elements (ICEs) in <i>Helicobacter pylori</i> and their influence on genome architecture
2025-08-25
Abstract excerpt
Integrating conjugative elements (ICEs) are mobile genetic elements conferring a wide range of beneficial functions upon their bacterial hosts. Generally, they can be activated from their integrated states to undergo horizontal gene transfer via conjugation. In the case of the human gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori , a paradigm for extensive genetic diversity, highly efficient natural transformation and recom...
