Integrative Conjugative Element ICE-βox Confers Oxidative Stress Resistance to Legionella pneumophila In Vitro and in Macrophages

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 assays, a p...
