Heterogeneity in the Frequency and Characteristics of Homologous Recombination in Pneumococcal Evolution

1 May 2014

Abstract excerpt

The bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) is one of the most important human bacterial pathogens, and a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The pneumococcus is also known for undergoing extensive homologous recombination via transformation with exogenous DNA. It has been shown that recombination has a major impact on the evolution of the pathogen, including acquisition of antibiotic...
