In this study, we evaluated if there was evidence of HGT in the genes coding for the ribosomal proteins in the <jats:italic>Neisseria<\/jats:italic> genus. We did this in a collection of 11,659 isolates of <jats:italic>Neisseria<\/jats:italic>, including <jats:italic>N. gonorrhoeae<\/jats:italic> and commensal <jats:italic>Neisseria<\/jats:italic> species (<jats:italic>N. cinerea<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>N. elongata<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>N. flavescens<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>N. mucosa<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>N. polysaccharea<\/jats:italic>, and <jats:italic>N. subflava<\/jats:italic>). Comparative genomic analyses identified HGT events in three genes: <jats:italic>rplB<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>rplD<\/jats:italic>, and <jats:italic>rplY<\/jats:italic> coding for ribosomal proteins L2, L4 and L25, respectively. Recombination events were predicted in <jats:italic>N. gonorrhoeae<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>N. cinerea<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>N. subflava<\/jats:italic>, and <jats:italic>N. lactamica<\/jats:italic> were identified as likely progenitors. In total, 2,337, 2,355, and 1,127 isolates possessed L2, L4, and L25 HGT events. Strong associations were found between HGT in L2\/L4 and the C2597T 23S rRNA mutation that confers reduced susceptibility to macrolides. Whilst previous studies have found evidence of HGT of entire genes coding for ribosomal proteins in other bacterial species, this is the first study to find evidence of HGT-mediated chimerization of ribosomal proteins.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fmicb.2021.683901","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,10]],"date-time":"2021-06-10T07:39:15Z","timestamp":1623310755000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":44,"title":["Evidence of Horizontal Gene Transfer of 50S Ribosomal Genes rplB, rplD, and rplY in Neisseria gonorrhoeae"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Sheeba Santhini","family":"Manoharan-Basil","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jolein Gyonne Elise","family":"Laumen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christophe","family":"Van Dijck","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tessa","family":"De Block","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Irith","family":"De Baetselier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chris","family":"Kenyon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1099\/mgen.0.000359","article-title":"Genomic epidemiology and population structure of Neisseria gonorrhoeae in norway, 2016\u20132017.","volume":"6","author":"Alfsnes","year":"2020","journal-title":"Microb.
