Are pathogenic bacteria just looking for food? Metabolism and microbial pathogenesis.

Trends in microbiology - 1 Jul 2011

Rohmer Laurence, Hocquet Didier, Miller Samuel I

Abstract excerpt

It is interesting to speculate that the evolutionary drive for microbes to develop pathogenic characteristics was to access the nutrient resources that animals provided. Animal environments that pathogens colonize have likely driven the evolution of new bacterial characteristics to maximize these new nutritional opportunities. This review focuses on genomic and functional aspects of pathogen metabolism that allow...
