Horizontal gene transfer shapes bacterial evolution and is an important factor in the development of antibiotic resistance. The researchers in the Maier group study gene transfer by combining tools from physics, microbiology and laboratory evolution. This research is part of the Collaborative Research Centre 1310 ‘Predictability in Evolution’ and focuses on fitness effects of cross-species gene transfer. This project aims at understanding the evolution of multidrug resistance in model and ESKAPE bacteria through horizontal gene transfer.
