Abstract excerpt

Horizontal gene transfer plays a key role in bacterial evolution, yet its efficiency under natural conditions, especially between genetically distinct strains, remains unclear. Using Staphylococcus aureus as a model, we found that gene transfer via various mechanisms is significantly restricted between strains from different clonal complexes (CCs), with the notable exception of lateral transduction, which occurs...
