TnSmu1 is a functional integrative and conjugative element in Streptococcus mutans that when expressed causes growth arrest of host bacteria

Molecular Microbiology, Volume 118, Issue 6, Page 652-669, December 2022., 2022
TnSmu1 is an integrative and conjugative element (ICE) (a type of mobile element that is transferred from cell to cell via conjugation) found in the genome of the oral pathogen Streptococcus mutans. We found that TnSmu1 is a functional ICE, capable of transfer to recipient cells that lack a copy of TnSmu1.
