Development of an in vitro assay for the Bacteroides conjugative transposon CTnDOT

Integrated self-transmissible elements called conjugative transposons (CTns) are responsible for the transfer of antibiotic resistance genes in many different species of bacteria. One of the best characterized of these newly recognized elements is the Bacteroides CTn, CTnDOT.
