Prevalence, diversity and transferability of the Tn916-Tn1545 family ICE in oral streptococci

Background: The Tn916-Tn1545 family of Integrative Conjugative Elements (ICE) are mobile genetic elements (MGEs) that play a role in the spread of antibiotic resistance genes. The Tn916 harbors the tetracycline resistance gene tet(M) and it has been reported in various bacterial species. The increas...
