ABSTRACT A newly discovered Bacteroides conjugative transposon (CTn), CTnBST,
integrates more site specifically than two other well-studied CTns, the Bacteroides CTn …

Conjugative transposons (CTns) are major contributors to the spread of antibiotic resistance
genes among Bacteroides species. CTnBST, a newly discovered Bacteroides conjugative …

Integrated self-transmissible elements called conjugative transposons (CTns) are
responsible for the transfer of antibiotic resistance genes in many different species of …

CTnDOT, a Bacteroides conjugative transposon (CTn), initiates its transfer by excising to
form a circular intermediate. This process has been shown to be complex, involving an …

Integrated self‐transmissible elements called conjugative transposons have been found in
many different bacteria, but little is known about how they excise from the chromosome to …

Conjugative transposons have been identified in several bacterial species, most notably the
Gram‐positive Enterococci and the Gram‐negative Bacteroides. In Bacteroides species …

Bacteroides conjugative transposons (CTns) are thought to transfer by first excising
themselves from the chromosome to form a nonreplicating circle, which is then transferred …

The conjugative transposon CTnDOT is virtually identical over most of its length to another
conjugative transposon, CTnERL, except that CTnDOT carries an ermF gene that is not …

Sequence analysis revealed that the integrase of the Bacteroides conjugative transposon
CTnDOT (IntDOT) might be a member of the tyrosine recombinase family because IntDOT …

The Bacteroides species harbor a family of conjugative transposons called tetracycline
resistance elements (Tcr elements) that transfer themselves from the chromosome of a …
