Two lines of work have been pursued intensively and have yielded significant progress in this period. These are: (1) the analysis of the pathway of plasmid transformation in pneumococcus and the use of this work to begin studies on cloning in a pneumococcus host-vector system, and (2) further study of the novel kind of gene transfer, formally like conjugation, that was found to be exhibited by drug resistance elements present in the chromosomes of some clinical isolates of pneumococcus.
