Bacterial genetics explains how bacteria acquire and exchange genetic information, and—most importantly for the clinic—how they become resistant to antibiotics. This topic stitches together molecular microbiology (mutation, plasmids, transposons), the three modes of horizontal gene transfer (transformation, transduction, conjugation) and the practical mechanisms of resistance (β-lactamases, efflux pumps, target alter…
