The controlled chaos of shifty pathogens.

Current biology : CB - 29 Jun 2000

Faguy D M

Abstract excerpt

Bacterial pathogens use novel mechanisms to vary their surface structures. Three new genome sequences provide a perspective on these mechanisms in Borrelia burgdorferi, Neisseria meningitidis, and Campylobacter jejuni, which cause lyme disease, meningitis and gastroenteritis, respectively.
