Chromosomal integration of Tn5253 occurs downstream of a conserved 11-bp sequence of the rbgA gene in Streptococcus pneumoniae and in all the other known hosts of this integrative conjugative element (ICE)
Abstract Background Tn5253, a composite Integrative Conjugative Element (ICE) of Streptococcus pneumoniae carrying tet(M) and cat resistance determinants, was found to (i) integrate at specific 83-bp integration site (attB), (ii) produce circular forms joined by a 84-bp sequence (attTn), and (iii) r...
