Mobile genetic elements of Staphylococcus aureus [PDF]
Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2010 Bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus are successful as commensal organisms or pathogens in part because they adapt rapidly to selective pressures imparted by the human host. Mobile genetic elements (MGEs) play a central role in this adaptation process and are a means to transfer genetic information (DNA) among and within bacterial species ...

The ecology of transfer of mobile genetic elements [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2002 The ecological aspects of the transfer and spread of mobile genetic elements (MGE) are reviewed in the context of the emerging evidence for the dominant role that horizontal gene transfer (HGT) has played in the evolutionary shaping of bacterial communities. Novel tools are described that allow a refined analysis of HGT in natural settings.
