Role of Intraspecies Recombination in the Spread of Pathogenicity Islands within the Escherichia coli Species

Horizontal gene transfer is a key step in the evolution of bacterial pathogens. Besides phages and plasmids, pathogenicity islands (PAIs) are subjected to horizontal transfer. The transfer mechanisms of PAIs within a certain bacterial species or between different species are still not well understoo...
