Recurrent Horizontal Transfer of Bacterial Toxin Genes to Eukaryotes

In this work, we report likely recurrent horizontal (lateral) gene transfer events of genes encoding pore-forming toxins of the aerolysin family between species belonging to different kingdoms of life. Clustering based on pairwise similarity and phylogenetic analysis revealed several distinct aeroly...
