摘要
While the evolutionary interests of mobile genetic elements may differ from those of their bacterial hosts, these elements can be beneficial for their hosts by delivering, disrupting, or activating genes. A recent paper by Sastrenovel synergistic effect of mobile elements in clinically relevant bacteria, whereby conjugative plasmids that carry transposable elements can be agents of rapid adaptive change through an elevation in rate.
