A <i>Campylobacter</i> integrative and conjugative element with a CRISPR-Cas9 system targeting competing plasmids: a history of plasmid warfare?
2021-06-01
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Microbial genomes are highly adaptable, with mobile genetic elements (MGEs) such as integrative conjugative elements (ICE) mediating the dissemination of new genetic information throughout bacterial populations. This is countered by defence mechanism such as CRISPR-Cas systems, which limit invading MGEs by sequence-specific targeting. Here we report the distribution of the pVir, pTet and PCC42 p...
