The research centered on bacterial conjugation, the process by which bacteria share genetic material, including antibiotic resistance. Hebrew University scientists led by Professors Sigal Ben ...

Bacteria can also transfer plasmids to one another through a process called conjugation. Scientists have taken advantage of plasmids to use them as tools to clone, transfer, and manipulate genes.

This helps the bacteria spread resistance genes, even in conditions previously thought to be less favorable for conjugation. "This process of DNA transfer, called bacterial conjugation ...
