Convergent within-host evolution alters key virulence factors in a <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> clone during a large hospital outbreak
2024-02-07
Abstract excerpt
Bacterial pathogens adapt to host niches because of within-host selective pressures, and this evolutionary process provides valuable insights into host-pathogen interactions. However, genetic changes underlying adaptive phenotypes are difficult to identify from data generated by genome-wide association studies of unrelated bacterial clones. Here, we followed the evolution of a single Klebsiella pneumoniae clone i...
