Resumo

Although several approaches have been attempted, the estimation of recombination frequencies in natural populations ofbacteria remains challenging. Previous studies have demonstrated awide variety of situations among bacterial species, ranging from theclonal diversification of Salmonella or Escherichia coli, which aremainly due to mutation, to the frequent recombination found inNeisseria gonorrhoeae or Helicobacter pylori. Most of the populationstudies done with bacterial species suggest that recombination occursin 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 thegenetic structure of "Aeromonas hydrophila Species Complex", despite the presence of some strains with recombinant gene fragments.
