Summary: | This review describes horizontal gene transfer from a historical point of view, with descriptions of the first instances of the different bacterial transfer mechanisms: conjugation, transduction and transformation, as well as examples of some of the early acknowledged transfer events. Gene transfer from four selected foodborne pathogens:
Escherichia coli,
Listeria monocytogenes,
Staphylococcus aureus and
Salmonella are highlighted. |
