Integrative Conjugative Element ICE-βox Confers Oxidative Stress Resistance to <named-content content-type="genus-species">Legionella pneumophila</named-content> <italic toggle="yes">In Vitro</italic> and in Macrophages
ABSTRACT Integrative conjugative elements (ICEs) are mobile blocks of DNA that can contribute to bacterial evolution by self-directed transmission of advantageous traits. Here, we analyze the activity of a putative 65-kb ICE harbored by Legionella pneumophila using molecular genetics, conjugation as...
