high frequency recombination strain (medicine)


high frequency recombination strain


A type of bacterial strain which is able to pass on genetic information to neighboring bacteria at a high rate. The high-frequency recombination strain (Hfr) is able to do this because it possesses the f plasmid and can therefore initiate bacterial conjugation.
