Enterococcal PrgU Provides Additional Regulation of Pheromone-Inducible Conjugative Plasmids

Bacteria utilize type 4 secretion systems (T4SS) to efficiently transfer DNA between donor and recipient cells, thereby spreading genes encoding antibiotic resistance as well as various virulence factors. Regulation of expression of the T4SS proteins and surface adhesins in Gram-positive...
