Abstract excerpt
Replication fidelity is not constant among strains within a species or at all genetic loci within a genome. Altered fidelity of replication may affect patterns of pathogenesis and the evolution of these strains. We have been studying replication fidelity in Escherichia coli, both in laboratory attenuated strains and in food-borne pathogens. To understand the altered patterns of mutagenesis at the molecular level,...
