Mutator natural Escherichia coli isolates have an unusual virulence phenotype.

Infection and immunity - 1 Jan 2001

Picard B, Duriez P, Gouriou S, Matic I, Denamur E, Taddei F

Abstract excerpt

A small percentage of natural Escherichia coli isolates (both commensal and pathogenic) have a mutator phenotype related to defects in methyl-directed mismatch repair (MR) genes. We investigated whether there was a direct link between the mutator phenotype and virulence by (i) studying the relationships between mutation rate and virulence in a mouse model of extraintestinal virulence for 88 commensal and...
