Mobile genetic elements drive the multidrug resistance and spread of Salmonella serotypes along a poultry meat production line

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
The presence of mobile genetic elements in Salmonella isolated from a chicken farm constitutes a potential risk for the appearance of emerging bacteria present in the food industry.

Bacterial chromosomal mobility via lateral transduction exceeds that of classical mobile genetic elements

Nature Communications, 2021
It is commonly thought that horizontal transfer of most bacterial chromosomal genes is limited, in comparison with the frequent transfer of mobile genetic elements. Humphrey et al.

Discovery of multiple anti-CRISPRs highlights anti-defense gene clustering in mobile genetic elements

Nature Communications, 2020
Mobile genetic elements have evolved anti-CRISPR (Acr) proteins to bypass the immunity provided by prokaryotic CRISPR–Cas systems. Here, the authors identify 11 type I Acrs encoded on mobile genetic elements, and show that acr loci neighborhoods can be ...

Composting Temperature Directly Affects the Removal of Antibiotic Resistance Genes and Mobile Genetic Elements in Livestock Manure

Environmental Pollution, 2021
The high antibiotic resistance gene (ARGs) contents in livestock manure pose a potential risk to environment and human health. The heap composting with an ambient temperature and thermophilic composting are two methods for converting livestock manure ...

Composite mobile genetic elements disseminating macrolide resistance in Streptococcus pneumoniae [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Macrolide resistance in Streptococcus pneumoniae emerged in the US and globally during the early 1990’s. The RNA methylase encoded by erm(B) and the macrolide efflux genes mef(E) and mel were identified as the resistance determining factors.
