Cheating and imperfect vaccines as drivers of bacterial evolution

2026-05-19

Abstract excerpt

Cheating is an ubiquitous evolutionary strategy, appearing everywhere throughout the tree of life. Among bacteria, cheating appears mostly through the consumption of public good without participation in their production. Some vaccines, because they specifically target these public goods, may alter the eco-evolutionary dynamics of cheating in bacterial populations of pathogenic species such as Corynebacterium dipht...
