Few experimental studies have examined the role that sexual recombination plays in bacterial evolution, including the effects of horizontal gene transfer on genome structure. To address this limitatio

aStudent's t-test comparing CI versus inoculums. NS or *, Not significant. bReciprocal of median CI. Strains used: 14028, JS456, JS831, JS835, JS838, JS843, JS845.
Nine Tn-seq banks of approximately 10,000 members were oropharyngeally inoculated into the lungs of Balb/c mice. One set of 28 mice were neutrophil replete, while another set of 23 mice were depleted
