Metabolic competition as a driver of bacterial population structure.

Future microbiology - 1 Oct 2016

Watkins Eleanor R, Maiden Martin Cj, Gupta Sunetra

Abstract excerpt

Understanding the processes whereby diversity arises and is maintained in pathogen populations is pivotal for designing disease control interventions. A particular problem is the maintenance of strain structure in bacterial pathogen populations despite frequent genetic exchange. Although several theoretical frameworks have been put forward to explain this widespread phenomenon, few have focused on the role of...
