Structural and biochemical analysis of OrfG: the VirB8-like component of the integrative and conjugative element ICE <i>St3</i> from <i>Streptococcus thermophilus</i>

2020-11-26

Abstract excerpt

<h4> A bstract </h4> Conjugative transfer is a major threat to global health since it contributes to the spread of antibiotic resistance genes and virulence factors among commensal and pathogenic bacteria. To allow their transfer, mobile genetic elements including Integrative and Conjugative Elements (ICEs) use a specialized conjugative apparatus related to Type IV secretion systems (Conj-T4SS). Therefore, Conj...
