Streptococcal group B integrative and mobilizable element IMESag-rpsI encodes a functional relaxase involved in its transfer
Streptococcus agalactiae or Group B Streptococcus (GBS) are opportunistic bacteria that can cause lethal sepsis in children and immuno-compromised patients. Their genome is a reservoir of mobile genetic elements that can be horizontally transferred. Among them, integrative and conjugative elements (...
