Antigenic variation and transmission fitness as drivers of bacterial strain structure.

Cellular microbiology - 1 Dec 2013

Palmer Guy H, Brayton Kelly A

Abstract excerpt

Shifts in microbial strain structure underlie both emergence of new pathogens and shifts in patterns of infection and disease of known agents. Understanding the selective pressures at a population level as well as the mechanisms at the molecular level represent significant gaps in our knowledge regarding microbial epidemiology. Highly antigenically variant pathogens, which are broadly represented among microbial...
