Abstract
The first extrachromosomal genetic elements discovered in bacteria were temperate bacteriophages, which can exist either as extracellular virus, as chromosomes replicating autonomously within cells or integrated into the bacterial chromosome. Integration of viruses into host chromosomes has subsequently attracted considerable attention by tumor virologists. This may justify the discussion of other types of genetic elements in bacteria in a meeting on human leucaemia.
