Massive acquisition of conjugative and mobilizable integrated elements fuels Faecalibacterium plasticity and hints at their adaptation to the gut

Abstract Faecalibacterium is one of the most abundant bacteria of the human gut microbiota of healthy adults and is recognized to have positive effects on health. Here, we precisely and comprehensively analyzed the conjugative mobilome of four complete Faecalibacterium genomes. Despite lacking any p...
