The Mobilome-Enriched Genome of the Competence-Deficient <i>Streptococcus pneumoniae</i> BM6001, the Original Host of Integrative Conjugative Element Tn<i>5253</i>, Is Phylogenetically Distinct from Historical Pneumococcal Genomes

The Mobilome-Enriched Genome of the Competence-Deficient <i>Streptococcus pneumoniae</i> BM6001, the Original Host of Integrative Conjugative Element Tn<i>5253</i>, Is Phylogenetically Distinct from Historical Pneumococcal Genomes

<i>Streptococcus pneumoniae</i> is an important human pathogen causing both mild and severe diseases. In this work, we determined the complete genome sequence of the <i>S. pneumoniae</i> clinical isolate BM6001, which is the original host of the ICE Tn<i>5253</i>....
