Molecular studies of bacterial conjugation
- Abstract:
-
Horizontal gene transfer via conjugation involves transfer of DNA from a donor cell to a recipient. Conjugation is a major contributor to the global spread of virulence and antimicrobial resistance genes. As such, it is paramount to understand the molecular processes involved during conjugation to allow informed design of interventions and to effectively exploit the system. Conjugation is driven by the action of a type IV secretion system (T4SS) encoded by conjugative plasmids. In addition, s...
