Tn5251 belongs to the Tn916-Tn1545 family of conjugative transposons (CT) and was found
integrated into CT Tn5252, to form the composite element Tn5253 of Streptococcus …

Integrative and conjugative elements (ICEs), also called conjugative transposons, are
genomic islands that excise, self-transfer by conjugation, and integrate in the genome of the …

The linkage between the macrolide efflux gene mef (I) and the chloramphenicol inactivation
gene catQ was first described in Streptococcus pneumoniae (strain Spn529), where the two …
