An updated view of plasmid conjugation and mobilisation in Staphylococcus

An updated view of plasmid conjugation and mobilisation in Staphylococcus

The horizontal gene transfer facilitated by mobile genetic elements impacts almost all areas of bacterial evolution, including the accretion and dissemination of antimicrobial-resistance genes in the human and animal pathogen Staphylococcus aureus. Genome surveys of staphylococcal plasmids have reve...
