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.
