Investigation of fitness cost, copy number variation and excision rate of Tn916/Tn916-like elements in oral streptococci and enterococci

The Tn916 and other related elements are broad host range conjugative transposons that are widely spread in bacteria. These elements contribute to the spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARG) between bacterial species. Variation in the Tn916/Tn916-like elements copy number (Tn916CN) and their exc...
