DOI: 10.1128/spectrum.00154-22
Abstract: In this study, it was shown that a pheromone-responsive conjugative plasmid played an indispensable role in the horizontal transfer of a lsa(E)-carrying genomic island. This finding indicates a dual role of the pheromone-responsive conjugative plasmid… read more here.
