Evidence of Extensive DNA Transfer between <italic toggle="yes">Bacteroidales</italic> Species within the Human Gut

ABSTRACT The genome sequences of intestinal Bacteroidales strains reveal evidence of extensive horizontal gene transfer. In vitro studies of Bacteroides and other bacteria have addressed mechanisms of conjugative transfer and some phenotypic outcomes of these DNA acquisitions in the recipient, such...
