Activation of the integrative and conjugative element Tn <i>916</i> causes growth arrest and death of host bacteria

2022-04-02

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Integrative and conjugative elements (ICEs) serve as major drivers of bacterial evolution. These elements often confer some benefit to a host cell, including antibiotic resistance, metabolic capabilities, or pathogenic determinants. ICEs can also have negative impacts on their host cells. Here, we investigated the effects of the ICE (conjugative transposon) Tn 916 on host cells. Because Tn 916...
