Gene transfer in the mammalian intestinal tract.
During the past year, new information has appeared about conjugative transposons, a type of broad host-range gene-transfer element that may make an important contribution to gene transfer between bacteria in the mammalian gastrointestinal tract. Evidence that broad host-range transfers actually occur in the intestine is just beginning to emerge.
