摘要

The Tn916 and other related elements are broad host range conjugative transposons that are widely spread in bacteria. These elements contribute to the spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARG) between bacterial species. Variation in the Tn916/Tn916-like elements copy number (Tn916CN) and their excision frequency (Tn916ExFr) from their host genome could play a role in propagation of ARG. In this study, the Tn916CN and the Tn916ExFr in oral streptococci and enterococci were determined using droplet digital PCR (ddPCR). In addition, we investigated the fitness cost associated with new acquisition of Tn916 in a selected oral streptococci and enterococci strains. Amelioration of fitness cost and mechanism(s) to mitigate fitness loss were evaluated by ddPCR and next generation sequencing (NGS). We found the ddPCR is superior to southern blot to determine Tn916CN. It was also found that both the excision rate of Tn916 and its autonomous replication increase because of antimicrobial challenge. Loss of b...
