A New Composite Integrative and Conjugative Element Mediates Multiple Drug Resistance from Streptococcus anginosus to Streptococcus agalactiae
In this study, a novel mosaic ICE was reported for the first time. In addition, its transfer to the major pathogen <i>Streptococcus agalactiae</i> was characterized and proved. These findings suggest that this ICE is expected to become a vehicle for the dissemination of multiple antimicrobial resistance through the wider pathogen Streptococci.
