How to measure bacterial genome plasticity? A novel time-integrated index helps gather insights on pathogens

2024-01-23

Abstract excerpt

Genome plasticity can be defined as the capacity of a bacterial population to swiftly gain or lose genes. The time factor plays a fundamental role for the evolutionary success of microbes, particularly when considering pathogens and their tendency to gain antimicrobial resistance factors under the pressure of the extensive use of antibiotics. Multiple metrics have been proposed to provide insights into the gene co...
