Horizontal transfer of ICE <i>clc</i> -like elements in <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> clinical isolates
2026-01-08
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Integrative and conjugative elements (ICEs) are widespread autonomous mobile DNA within bacterial chromosomes. ICEs contain the genes necessary for excision from the chromosome, conjugative transfer to a new recipient cell, and chromosomal reintegration. They can also carry accessory genes that, while not essential for transfer, confer adaptive phenotypes to the host, contributing to host surviv...
