Chromosomal Conjugative and Mobilizable Elements in <i>Streptococcus suis</i>: Major Actors in the Spreading of Antimicrobial Resistance and Bacteriocin Synthesis Genes

Chromosomal Conjugative and Mobilizable Elements in <i>Streptococcus suis</i>: Major Actors in the Spreading of Antimicrobial Resistance and Bacteriocin Synthesis Genes

<i>Streptococcus suis</i> is a zoonotic pathogen suspected to be a reservoir of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes. The genomes of 214 strains of 27 serotypes were screened for AMR genes and chromosomal Mobile Genetic Elements (MGEs), in particular Integrative Conjugative Elements (ICE...
