Abstract:Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is a powerful mechanism that allows bacteria to directly transfer long stretches of genomic sequence from one individual to another. The transfer of antimicrobial resistance genes is a prominent example of HGT events in the context of multi-resistant bacteria which pose a high risk to human health. While several approaches for HGT detection exist on the genomic level, to the best of our knowledge, HGT events have not been investigated in a detailed mass spectrometry (MS)-based pr… Show more
