Abstract excerpt
Within-host environments are complex and multidimensional, making it challenging to link the evolutionary responses of colonizing pathogens to causal selective drivers. Loss of quorum sensing (QS) via mutation of the master regulator, lasR, is a common adaptation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa during chronic infections. Here, we use experimental evolution in host-mimicking media to show that loss of QS is constrained...
