Transfer of Haemophilus influenzae chromosomal genes by cell-to-cell contact.

Abstract

A low-frequency exchange of chromosomal markers was observed in matings of Haemophilus influenzae. Transfer did not appear to be due to classical transformation or to be plasmid mediated, and chromosomal gene transfer differed in several respects from plasmid transfer by conjugation.

Allergy & Infectious Diseases

Allergies result from the hyperreactivity of the immune system to some environmental substance and can be life-threatening. Infectious diseases are caused by organisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. They can be transmitted different ways, such as person-to-person. Here is the latest research on allergy and infectious diseases.

Antimicrobial Resistance (ASM)

Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant threat to the continued successful use of antimicrobial agents for the treatment of bacterial infections.
