New insights into the classification and integration specificity of streptococci integrative conjugative elements through extensive genome exploration

In this study, we searched for integrative conjugative elements (ICEs) in chromosomes of 124 strains of Streptococci. These exhaustive analyses revealed 105 putative ICEs and 26 slightly decayed elements that were grouped in 7 distinct families. Comparison of the conjugation modules of ICEs belongin...
