Quantifying Nonvertical Inheritance in the Evolution of Legionella pneumophila

20 Oct 2010

Abstract excerpt

The exchange of genetic material among bacterial strains and species is recognized as an important factor determining their evolutionary, population genetic, and epidemiological features. We present a detailed analysis of nonvertical inheritance in Legionella pneumophila, a human pathogen and facultative intracellular parasite of amoebas. We have analyzed the exchange of L. pneumophila genetic material with other...
