- •
Genome sequence data show that HGT favoured bacterial adaptation to food ecosystems.
- •
Some functional groups of genes are more prone to HGT in food.
- •
Toxin producing biotypes might emerge after HGT in food from innocuous strains.
- •
More studies are needed to define the consequences of HGT in food.
