Social behaviour and decision making in bacterial conjugation [PDF]

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2014
Bacteria frequently acquire novel genes by HGT (horizontal gene transfer). HGT through the process of bacterial conjugation is highly efficient and depends on the presence of conjugative plasmids (CPs) or integrated conjugative elements (ICEs) that ...

Transfer of blaTEM gene between Salmonella and Escherichia coli under processing conditions of animal products: influence of a copper(II) complex [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology
The high prevalence of infections caused by contaminated food, coupled with growing antimicrobial resistance, especially through horizontal gene transfer, is a challenge for public health worldwide.

ggMOB: Elucidation of genomic conjugative features and associated cargo genes across bacterial genera using genus-genus mobilization networks

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
Horizontal gene transfer mediated by conjugation is considered an important evolutionary mechanism of bacteria. It allows organisms to quickly evolve new phenotypic properties including antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and virulence.

Crosstalk Between Type VI Secretion System and Mobile Genetic Elements

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2019
Many bacterial processes require cell-cell contacts. Such are the cases of bacterial conjugation, one of the main horizontal gene transfer mechanisms that physically spreads DNA, and the type VI secretion systems (T6SSs), which deploy antibacterial ...
