Phenotypic heterogeneity: a bacterial virulence strategy.

Microbes and infection - 1 Jan 2000

Weigel W A, Dersch P

Abstract excerpt

Growing knowledge of the complexity of the host-pathogen interactions during the course of an infection revealed an amazing variability of bacterial pathogens within the same host tissue site. This heterogeneity in bacterial populations is either the result of a different bacterial response to a slightly divergent tissue microenvironment or is caused by a genetic circuit in which small endogenous fluctuations in...
