Conjugation systems are present on many plasmids as well as on chromosomally integrated
elements. Conjugation, which is a major route by which bacteria exchange genetic material …

Bacterial conjugation is the main horizontal gene transfer route responsible for the spread of
antibiotic resistance, virulence and toxin genes. During conjugation, DNA is transferred from …

Horizontal gene transfer mediated by plasmid conjugation plays a significant role in the
evolution of bacterial species, as well as in the dissemination of antibiotic resistance and …

Conjugation is an efficient way for transfer of genetic information between bacteria, even
between highly diverged species, and a major cause for the spreading of resistance genes …

The principal route for dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes is conjugation by which a
conjugative DNA element is transferred from a donor to a recipient cell. Conjugative …

Plasmid conjugation plays a significant role in the dissemination of antibiotic resistance and
pathogenicity determinants. Understanding how conjugation is regulated is important to gain …

Conjugative transfer is a primary means of spread of mobile genetic elements (plasmids and
transposons) between bacteria. It leads to the dissemination and evolution of the genes …

Conjugation, a major type of horizontal gene transfer in bacteria, involves transfer of DNA
from a donor to a recipient using donor‐encoded conjugation machinery. Using a high …

Conjugation plays important roles in genome plasticity, adaptation and evolution but is also
the major horizontal gene-transfer route responsible for spreading toxin, virulence and …

Bacterial conjugation is the process by which a conjugative element (CE) is transferred
horizontally from a donor to a recipient cell via a connecting pore. One of the first steps in the …
