Activation of the integrative and conjugative element Tn916 causes growth arrest and death of host bacteria
Integrative and conjugative elements (ICEs) serve as major drivers of bacterial evolution. These elements often confer some benefit to host cells, including antibiotic resistance, metabolic capabilities, or pathogenic determinants. ICEs can also have negative effects on host cells. Here, we investig...
