A genomic view of experimental intra- and interspecies transformation of a rifampicin resistance allele into Neisseria meningitidis

Abstract:

The spread of antibiotic resistance within and between different bacterial populations is a major health problem on a global scale. The identification of genetic transformation in genomic data from the meningococcus (Mc) and other bacteria is problematic since similar or even identical alleles may be involved. A particular challenge in naturally transformable bacteria generally, is to distinguish between common ancestry and true recombined sites in sampled genome sequences. Furthermore, the i...
