BlpC-mediated selfish program leads to rapid loss of <i>Streptococcus pneumoniae</i> clonal diversity during infection
2022-08-06
Abstract excerpt
<h4>SUMMARY</h4> Chromosomal barcoding and high-throughput sequencing were used to investigate the population dynamics of Streptococcus pneumoniae . During infant mouse colonization, >35-fold reduction in diversity and expansion of a single clonal lineage was observed within 1 day post-inoculation. This loss of diversity was not due to immune factors, host microbiota or exclusively because of genetic drift. Rath...
