Protein Transfer through an F Plasmid-Encoded Type IV Secretion System Suppresses the Mating-Induced SOS Response

ABSTRACT Bacterial type IV secretion systems (T4SSs) mediate the conjugative transfer of mobile genetic elements (MGEs) and their cargoes of antibiotic resistance and virulence genes. Here, we report that the pED208-encoded T4SS (TrapED208) translocates not only this F plasmid but several plasmid-en...
