Describe the mechanisms of horizontal gene transfer in bacteria, describing the manner in which the DNA can be transferred from one cell to another.Choose a disease or an organism that has a well-documented mechanism of resistance (such as methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus - MRSA or tuberculosis) and identify the gene or genes that confer resistance and the method of DNA transfer thought to contribute to its spread. This may be from one organism to another or may simply be passed down from mother to daughter cell due to environmental pressure.
Compare and contrast the three mechanisms of genetic transfer in bacteria?
Describe the mechanisms by which bacterial DNA becomes compacted.
