Genetic transformation and cell division delay in competent <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>

2022-06-29

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> Natural competence for genetic transformation, considered as one of the three main mechanisms leading to horizontal gene transfer in bacteria, is able to promote evolution, through genomic plasticity, and foster antibiotic resistance and virulence factors spreading. Conserved machineries and actors required to perform genetic transformation have been shown to accumulate at different cellular loca...
