  Horizontal Gene Transfer (HGT) is a transmission of gene by different related species of organism. It is also known as Lateral Gene Transfer (LGT). Homo sapiens received the HGT from the other organism like bacteria in the ancient time. The evolution of Horizontal Gene Transfer emmerged the present of plasmid (Extra genetic materials), bacteriophages and transposons. This will cause the bacteria to develop resistance towards antibiotic.The HGT is transfered by three mechanism which are bacterial conjugation, transformation and transduction.
