A ubiquitous mobile genetic element disarms a bacterial antagonist of the gut microbiota

M. L. Sheahan, M. J. Coyne, K. Flores, L. Garcia-Bayona, M. Chatzidaki-Livanis, A. Sundararajan, A. Q. Holst, B. Barquera, L. E. Comstock

The paper shows that a mobile genetic element inverts the antagonistic behavior of Bacteroides fragilis by disabling its native system and enhancing fitness through a new weapon.
