Monitoring Bacterial Conjugation by Optical Microscopy

Monitoring Bacterial Conjugation by Optical Microscopy

Bacterial conjugation is the main mechanism for horizontal gene transfer, conferring plasticity to the genome repertoire. This process is also the major instrument for the dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes. Hence, gathering primary information of the mechanism underlying this genetic tran...
