Transfer of KPC-2 carbapenemase from Klebsiella pneumoniae to Enterobacter cloacae in a patient receiving meropenem therapy
(Elsevier B.V., 2017-07-01)
The horizontal transfer of a plasmid bearing the bla(Kpc-2) gene from K. pneumoniae to E. cloacae infecting the respiratory tract of a patient during meropenem therapy was elucidated. This finding is particularly worrisome, ...
Metazoan Ribosome Inactivating Protein encoding genes acquired by Horizontal Gene Transfer
(Nature Publishing Group, 2017-12)
Ribosome inactivating proteins (RIPs) are RNA N-glycosidases that depurinate a specific adenine residue in the conserved sarcin/ricin loop of 28S rRNA. These enzymes are widely distributed among plants and their presence ...
Plant growth-promoting genes can switch to be virulence factors via horizontal gene transfer
(Springer, 2018-10)
There are increasing evidences that horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is a critical mechanism of bacterial evolution, while its complete impact remains unclear. A main constraint of HGT effects on microbial evolution seems ...
Involvement of plastid, mitochondrial and nuclear genomes in plant-to-plant horizontal gene transfer
(Polskie Towarzystwo Botaniczne, 2014-12)
This review focuses on plant-to-plant horizontal gene transfer (HGT) involving the three DNA-containing cellular compartments. It highlights the great incidence of HGT in the mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) of angiosperms, ...
A kinetic model for horizontal transfer and bacterial antibiotic resistance
(World Scientific, 2017-05)
This paper presents a mathematical model for bacterial growth, mutations, horizontal transfer and development of antibiotic resistance. The model is based on the so-called kinetic theory for active particles that is able ...
