Enterococcus faecalis pCF10-encoded Surface Proteins PrgA, PrgB (Aggregation Substance), and PrgC Contribute to Plasmid Transfer, Biofilm Formation, and Virulence

Enterococcus faecalis pCF10 transfers at high frequencies upon pheromone induction of the prgQ transfer operon. This operon codes for three cell-wall-anchored proteins - PrgA, PrgB (aggregation substance), and PrgC - and a type IV secretion system through which the plasmid is delivered to recipient...
