 ====== Horizontal gene transfer     ======
-Horizontal gene transfer (HGT), sometimes referred to as lateral gene transfer, is any process in which a bacterium inserts genetic material into the genomes of other pathogens or into the genome of its host. HGT represents a substantial blow to the validity of [[home:pathogenesis:kochs_postulates|Koch's postulates]], which state that any given infectious disease is caused by a single discrete and well-defined pathogen.

 <blockquote>Increasingly, studies of genes and genomes are indicating that considerable horizontal gene transfer has occurred between bacteria.
