Interplay between the cell envelope and mobile genetic elements shapes gene flow in populations of the nosocomial pathogen klebsiella pneumoniae

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Matthieu Haudiquet et al. from the FIRE-Programme Bettencourt, CRI, Paris, FranceWageningen University, NETHERLANDS have published the paper: Interplay between the cell envelope and mobile genetic elements shapes gene flow in populations of the nosocomial pathogen Klebsiella pneumoniae, in the Journal: (JOURNAL) of January/13,/2021
• what: The authors aim at understanding this apparent contradiction by studying the covariation between the repertoire of capsule genes and MGEs in approximately 4 000 genomes of_(Kpn). The authors show that capsules drive phage-mediated gene flow between closely related serotypes. The authors show that conjugative plasmids . . .
