Retraction of DNA-bound type IV competence pili initiates DNA uptake during natural transformation in Vibrio cholerae

Natural transformation is a broadly conserved mechanism of horizontal gene transfer in bacterial species that can shape evolution and foster the spread of antibiotic resistance determinants, promote antigenic variation and lead to the acquisition of novel virulence factors. Surface appendages called...
