Factors influencing prokaryotic HGT within the human holobiont. A factor may enhance (—>) or inhibit (—|) HGT among the human-associated microbiota. Some factors like R-M systems may have a dual role depending on the specific context. Blue arrows with a question mark (‘?’) indicate instances wherein an effect on HGT in vivo is postulated but experimentally unverified
