Biofilm Formation Drives Transfer of the Conjugative Element ICEBs1 in Bacillus subtilis

Horizontal gene transfer by integrative and conjugative elements (ICEs) is a very important mechanism for spreading antibiotic resistance in various bacterial species. In environmental and clinical settings, most bacteria form biofilms as a way to protect themselves against extracellular stress. How...
