Type 4 pili mediated natural competence in <i>Fusobacterium nucleatum</i>

2023-06-09

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Many bacterial species naturally take up DNA from their surroundings and recombine it into their chromosome through homologous gene transfer (HGT) to aid in survival and gain advantageous functions. Herein we present the first characterization of Type 4 pili mediated natural competence in Fusobacterium nucleatum , which are Gram-negative, anaerobic bacteria that participate in a range of infect...
