Elevated rates of horizontal gene transfer in the industrialized human microbiome.
Cell, 2021 Industrialization has impacted the human gut ecosystem, resulting in altered microbiome composition and diversity. Whether bacterial genomes may also adapt to the industrialization of their host populations remains largely unexplored.

Proton Motive Force Disruptors Block Bacterial Competence and Horizontal Gene Transfer.
Cell Host and Microbe, 2020 Streptococcus pneumoniae is a commensal of the human nasopharynx that can also cause severe antibiotic-resistant infections. Antibiotics drive the spread of resistance by inducing S.

Horizontal Gene Transfer of Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Biofilms
Antibiotics, 2023 Most bacteria attach to biotic or abiotic surfaces and are embedded in a complex matrix which is known as biofilm. Biofilm formation is especially worrisome in clinical settings as it hinders the treatment of infections with antibiotics due to the ...

Horizontal gene transfer of conjugative transposons Tn916
上海师范大学学报. 自然科学版, 2022 Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) greatly improves the adaptability of bacteria to the environment, and promotes the evolution of bacteria. Genomic islands (GEIs) are the gene fragments obtained by HGT in prokaryotes.

Major episodes of horizontal gene transfer drove the evolution of land plants.
Molecular Plant, 2022 How horizontal gene transfer (HGT) has contributed to the evolution of animals and plants remains a major puzzle. Despite recent progress, defining the overall scale and pattern of HGT events in land plants has been largely elusive.
