Host ecology regulates interspecies recombination in bacteria of the genus <i>Campylobacter</i>
2021-08-24
Abstract excerpt
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) can allow traits that have evolved in one bacterial species to transfer to another. This has potential to rapidly promote new adaptive trajectories such as zoonotic transfer or antimicrobial resistance. However, for this to occur requires gaps to align in barriers to recombination within a given time frame. Chief among these barriers is the physical separation of species with distinc...
