Bacterial contingency loci: the role of simple sequence DNA repeats in bacterial adaptation.

Annual review of genetics - 1 Jan 2006

Moxon Richard, Bayliss Chris, Hood Derek

Abstract excerpt

Bacterial pathogens face stringent challenges to their survival because of the many unpredictable, often precipitate, and dynamic changes that occur in the host environment or in the process of transmission from one host to another. Bacterial adaptation to their hosts involves either a mechanism for sensing and responding to external changes or the selection of variants that arise through mutation. Here we review...
