Prokaryotic chromosomes and disease.

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 8 Aug 2003

Hacker Jörg, Hentschel Ute, Dobrindt Ulrich

Abstract excerpt

Recent insights into bacterial genome organization and function have improved our understanding of the nature of pathogenic bacteria and their ability to cause disease. It is becoming increasingly clear that the bacterial chromosome constantly undergoes structural changes due to gene acquisition...
