Dissemination of Tn916-Related Integrative and Conjugative Elements in Streptococcus pneumoniae Occurs by Transformation and Homologous Recombination in Nasopharyngeal Biofilms

Multidrug resistance in Streptococcus pneumoniae (or pneumococcus) continues to be a global challenge. An important class of antibiotic resistance determinants disseminating in S. pneumoniae are >20-kb Tn916-related integrative and conjugative elements (ICEs), such as Tn2009, Tn6002, and Tn2010....
