Naturally occurring horizontal gene transfer and homologous recombination in Mycobacterium

1 Jun 2004

Abstract excerpt

Acquisition of genetic information through horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is an important evolutionary process by which micro-organisms gain novel phenotypic characteristics. In pathogenic bacteria, for example, it facilitates maintenance and enhancement of virulence and spread of drug resistance. In the genus Mycobacterium, to which several primary human pathogens belong, HGT has not been clearly demonstrated....
