Genome mosaicism in field strains of <i>Mycoplasma bovis</i> as footprints of <i>in-host</i> horizontal chromosomal transfer
2021-07-12
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Horizontal gene transfer was long thought to be marginal in Mollicutes , but the capacity of some of these wall-less bacteria to exchange large chromosomal regions has been recently documented. Mycoplasma chromosomal transfer (MCT) is an unconventional mechanism that relies on the presence of a functional integrative conjugative element (ICE) in at least one partner and involves the horizontal...
