Second-generation transfer mediates efficient propagation of ICE <i>Bs1</i> in biofilms

2022-05-19

Abstract excerpt

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) by integrative and conjugative elements (ICEs) is an important mechanism in the spread of antibiotic resistance genes. However, little is known about the spatiotemporal dynamic of ICEs propagation in bacterial biofilms, which are multicellular structures ubiquitous in the natural and clinical environment. Using a fluorescently marked ICE Bs1 , we report here that its propagation in...
