Regulatory gene mutation: a driving force behind group a Streptococcus strain- and serotype-specific variation.
Molecular microbiology - 1 Feb 2017
Sarkar Poulomee, Sumby Paul
Abstract excerpt
Data from multiple bacterial pathogens are consistent with regulator-encoding genes having higher mutation frequencies than the genome average. Such mutations drive both strain- and type- (e.g., serotype, haplotype) specific phenotypic heterogeneity, and may challenge public health due to the potential of variants to circumvent established treatment and/or preventative regimes. Here, using the human bacterial...
