H. parasuis transformation could be inhibited with unmarked homologous DNA. H. parasuis transformation could be inhibited by exogenous DNA and moderately inhibited by DNA from closely-related A. pleuropneumoniae. Increasing amounts (0, 10, 50, 100, 500, 1,000, and 2,000 ng) of competitive DNA from either homologous and heterologous strains were added to the mixture with constant amount (1 μg) of SC1401ΔhtrA::kan chromosomal DNA. Transformation frequency shows the number of KanR transformants per cfu of recipient cells. Data are representative of three independent experiments. Solid lines with different colors indicate source of competitor DNA.
