Hypermutable bacteria isolated from humans--a critical analysis.

Microbiology (Reading, England) - 1 Sept 2006

Hall Lucinda M C, Henderson-Begg Stephanie K

Abstract excerpt

Hypermutable bacteria of several species have been described among isolates recovered from humans over the last decade. Interpretation of the literature in this area is complicated by diversity in the determination and definition of hypermutability, and this review outlines the different methods used. Inactivation of the mismatch repair gene mutS is often implicated in the mutator phenotype; the reported effect...
