Copper Ions Facilitate the Conjugative Transfer of SXT/R391 Integrative and Conjugative Element Across Bacterial Genera

Copper can persist stably in the environment for prolonged periods. Except for inducing antibiotic resistance in bacteria, copper ions (Cu(2+)) can facilitate the horizontal transfer of plasmid DNA. However, whether and how Cu(2+) can accelerate the conjugative transfer of SXT/R391 integrative and c...
