Neutral microepidemic evolution of bacterial pathogens.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 8 Feb 2005

Fraser Christophe, Hanage William P, Spratt Brian G

Abstract excerpt

Understanding bacterial population genetics is vital for interpreting the response of bacterial populations to selection pressures such as antibiotic treatment or vaccines targeted at only a subset of strains. The evolution of transmissible bacteria occurs by mutation and localized recombination and is influenced by epidemiological as well as molecular processes. We demonstrate that the observed population...
