Ratiometric quorum sensing in <i>Enterococcus faecalis</i> conjugation

2019-12-12

Abstract excerpt

Plasmid-mediated horizontal gene transfer of antibiotic-resistance and virulence in pathogenic bacteria underlies a major public health issue. Understanding how, in the absence of antibiotic-mediated selection, plasmid-bearing cells avoid being outnumbered by plasmid-free cells, is key to developing counter strategies. Here we quantified the induction of Enterococcus faecalis ’ plasmidial sex-pheromone pathway to...
