Gene decay in Shigella as an incipient stage of host-adaptation.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2011

Feng Ye, Chen Zhe, Liu Shu-Lin

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Many facultative bacterial pathogens have undergone extensive gene decay processes, possibly due to lack of selection pressure during evolutionary conversion from free-living to intracellular lifestyle. Shigella, the causative agents of human shigellosis, have arisen from different E. coli-like ancestors independently by convergent paths. As these bacteria all have lost large numbers of genes by...
