Second-Generation Transfer Mediates Efficient Propagation of ICEBs1 in Biofilms

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) by integrative and conjugative elements (ICEs) is an important mechanism in the spread of antibiotic resistance genes. However, little is known about the spatiotemporal dynamic of ICE propagation in bacterial biofilms, which are multicellular structures ubiquitous in n...
