Abstract

The transfer of mobile genetic elements between bacteria is the main cause of the spread of antibiotic resistance genes. While biofilms are the predominant bacterial lifestyle both in the environment and in clinical settings, their impact on the propagation of mobile genetic elements is still poorly understood.

Abstract

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) by integrative and conjugative elements (ICEs) is an important mechanism in the spread of antibiotic resistance genes. However, little is known about the spatiotemporal dynamic of ICE propagation in bacterial biofilms, which are multicellular structures ubiquitous in natural and clinical environments. We report here that a high level of biofilm matrix production favors ICE
