In this study, we analyzed the horizontal gene transfer in the environment, using the model of phage transduction of phage S6 in MRSA. First, analyzing phylogeny of phage based on the whole genome, phage S6 was related to the other phage infecting Gram-positive bacteria and that infecting Gram-negative bacteria, which suggested that there may be specific phage group with transducing ability. Second, phage S6 has ability to adsorb the Staphylococcus aureus cells via beta-glycosilation of wall teichoic acids on the cell wall. Third, phage S6 was considered to package the host DNA, transfer it to the new recipient cells, and the gene acquisition occurred by homologous recombination.
