Discovery of a new family of relaxases in Firmicutes bacteria.

Discovery of a new family of relaxases in Firmicutes bacteria.

Antibiotic resistance is a serious global problem. Antibiotic resistance genes (ARG), which are widespread in environmental bacteria, can be transferred to pathogenic bacteria via horizontal gene transfer (HGT). Gut microbiomes are especially apt for the emergence and dissemination of ARG. Conjugati...
