Abstract
Although several approaches have been attempted, the estimation of recombination frequencies in natural populations of
bacteria remains challenging. Previous studies have demonstrated a
wide variety of situations among bacterial species, ranging from the
clonal diversification of Salmonella or Escherichia coli, which are
mainly due to mutation, to the frequent recombination found in
Neisseria gonorrhoeae or Helicobacter pylori. Most of the population
studies done with bacterial species suggest that recombination occurs
in nature but that it is infrequent compared to mutation. Consequently,
bacterial populations consist largely of independent clonal lineages.
Our research suggests little or null influence of recombination in the
genetic structure of "Aeromonas hydrophila Species Complex", despite the presence of some strains with recombinant gene fragments.
