    • Intracellular Transposition and Capture of Mobile Genetic Elements following Intercellular Conjugation of Multidrug Resistance Conjugative Plasmids from Clinical Enterobacteriaceae Isolates 

      Tansirichaiya, Supathep; Goodman, Richard N.; Guo, Xinyu; Bulgasim, Issra; Samuelsen, Ørjan; Al-Haroni, Mohammed; Roberts, Adam P. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-19)
      Mobile genetic elements (MGEs) are often associated with antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs). They are responsible for intracellular transposition between different replicons and intercellular conjugation and are therefore important agents of ARG dissemination. Detection and characterization of functional MGEs, especially in clinical isolates, would increase our understanding of the underlying ...
    • Inverse PCR-based detection reveal novel mobile genetic elements and their associated genes in the human oral metagenome 

      Tansirichaiya, Supathep; Winje, Endre; Wigand, Johannes; Al-Haroni, Mohammed (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-05-27)
      The human oral cavity is one of the hotspots harboring multiple mobile genetic elements (MGEs), which are segments of DNA that can move either within bacterial genomes or between bacterial cells that can facilitate the spreading of genetic materials, including antimicrobial resistance genes. It is, therefore, important to investigate genes associated with the MGEs as they have a high probability of ...
