Chromosomal dif sites and associated modules identified in Acinetobacter sp. drive the horizontal transfer of antibiotic resistance
Additional <i>dif</i>-like sites are present in <i>Acinetobacter</i> chromosomes, which are unlikely to play a function in chromosomal dimer resolution, and the modules they form are functionally similar to p<i>dif</i> modules, both of which play an important role in horizontal gene transfer.
