Comparative ICE Genomics: Insights into the Evolution of the SXT/R391 Family of ICEs
Wozniak, Rachel A. F.; Fouts, Derrick E.; Spagnoletti, Matteo; Colombo, Mauro M.; Ceccarelli, Daniela; Garriss, Geneviève; Déry, Christine; Burrus, Vincent; Waldor, Matthew K. (Public Library of Science, 2009)Integrating and conjugative elements (ICEs) are one of the three principal types of self-transmissible mobile genetic elements in bacteria. ICEs, like plasmids, transfer via conjugation; but unlike plasmids and similar to ... -
Genomic and Functional Analysis of ICEPdaSpa1, a Fish-Pathogen-Derived SXT-Related Integrating Conjugative Element That Can Mobilize a Virulence Plasmid
Osorio, Carlos R.; Marrero, Joeli; Wozniak, Rachel F.; Lemos, Manuel L.; Burrus, Vincent; Waldor, Matthew K. (American Society for Microbiology, 2008)Integrating conjugative elements (ICEs) are self-transmissible mobile elements that transfer between bacteria via conjugation and integrate into the host chromosome. SXT and related ICEs became prevalent in Asian Vibrio ... -
Mobile Antibiotic Resistance Encoding Elements Promote Their Own Diversity
Garriss, Geneviève; Burrus, Vincent; Rosenberg, Susan M.; Waldor, Matthew K (Public Library of Science, 2009)Integrating conjugative elements (ICEs) are a class of bacterial mobile genetic elements that disseminate via conjugation and then integrate into the host cell genome. The SXT/R391 family of ICEs consists of more than 30 ...
