CONSEJO SUPERIOR DE INVESTIGACIONES CIENTÍFICAS (2009, background): “Por otro lado, a consecuencia de la alta densidad celular y el contacto estrecho entre las bacterias, está facilitada la transferencia horizontal de genes mediante conjugación (Hausner y Wuertz, 1999; Ghigo, 2001; Espinosa-Urgel, 2004; Sørensen et al., 2005).”
Horizontal transfer of antibiotic resistance genes in clinical environments. (2019, background): “Through HGT, 60 microbes can sample and share a large gene pool, which may encode traits that are useful in their 61 local environment (Pilla et al. 2017; Sørensen et al. 2005).”
Varieties of Living Things: Life at the Intersection of Lineage and Metabolism (2009, background): “Many are mobile genetic elements that direct their own transmission to new host cells during conjugation (the unicellular equivalent of sex), thereby spreading themselves to closely related and evolutionarily distant prokaryotes (Thomas 2000; 2006; Sørensen et al. 2005).”
Antibiotic resistance plasmids in wastewater treatment plants and their possible dissemination into the environment (2010, background): “Conjugative potential of isolated plasmids can also be studied in a variety of bacterial hosts (Sorensen et al., 2005).”
Human Health Risk Assessment (HHRA) for Environmental Development and Transfer of Antibiotic Resistance (2013, background): “Environmental Health Perspectives • volume 121 | number 9 | September 2013 997 Selection for ARB is further modulated by the nutritional status of members of the rele vant bacterial community because high meta bolic activity and high cell density promote bacterial community succession and HGT (Bra”
Bacterial exposure to ZnO nanoparticles facilitates horizontal transfer of antibiotic resistance genes (2018, background): “Conjugative transfer is generally the principal mode for antibiotic resistance transfer via mobile genetic elements (Collard et al., 1994; Sorensen et al., 2005; Thomas and Nielsen, 2005).”
Urban wastewater treatment plants as hotspots for antibiotic resistant bacteria and genes spread into the environment: a review. (2013, methodology): “…cells but in such cases the recovery of transconjugants is impaired by (i) the poor cultivability of environmental bacteria, considered to be a very limiting factor (less than 1% are culturable), and (ii) the host range in which the marker used for selection is expressed (Sørensen et al., 2005).”
Integrons: Past, Present, and Future (2014, background): “Aquatic environments are likely to be major foci for complex interactions between integrons, resistance determinants, and mobile DNAs (146, 153, 228, 237), where biofilms in particular are a hot spot for genetic exchanges (17, 58, 251).”
Horizontal Gene Exchange in Environmental Microbiota (2011, background): “For studies of HGT in highly organized structures as biofilms, technologies such as single-cell detection of donor, recipient, and transconjugant bacteria, combined with individual-based mathematical models, have been developed to estimate the HGT rates in situ (Sørensen et al., 2005).”
Enhanced Biofilm Formation and Increased Resistance to Antimicrobial Agents and Bacterial Invasion Are Caused by Synergistic Interactions in Multispecies Biofilms (2006, background): “Also, biofilms offer enhanced opportunities for interactions such as horizontal gene transfer and cometabolism (24, 34, 51).”
Microbial indicators for soil quality (2017, background): “Thus, there is no doubt that horizontal plasmid transfer occurs at high frequency in the rhizosphere (Van Elsas et al. 1988; Sørensen et al. 2005).”
