Functional Analysis of the <i>Acinetobacter baumannii</i> XerC and XerD Site-Specific Recombinases: Potential Role in Dissemination of Resistance Genes

Functional Analysis of the <i>Acinetobacter baumannii</i> XerC and XerD Site-Specific Recombinases: Potential Role in Dissemination of Resistance Genes

Modules composed of a resistance gene flanked by Xer site-specific recombination sites, the vast majority of which were found in <i>Acinetobacter baumannii</i>, are thought to behave as elements that facilitate horizontal dissemination. The <i>A. baumannii</i> <i>xerC&l...
