The article discusses horizontal gene transfer, which is recognized as a major contributor in the molecular evolution of many bacterial genomes. The process is responsible for uncontrollable spread of antibiotic resistance genes among bacteria in the natural and nosocomial environments. Because of the stable proximity of the majority of bacteria present in dental plaque, horizontal gene transfer mostly occurs in the oral cavity. |
