Colonization, translocation, and evolution of opportunistic pathogens during healthcare-associated infections

2025-10-23

Abstract excerpt

Many commensal bacteria that peacefully reside in the human microbiome are also able to cause acute opportunistic infections. Emerging evidence suggests that within-host evolution contributes to infection, but the genetic mechanisms facilitating the progression of opportunistic pathogens from carriage to acute infection remain unknown. Here, we prospectively collected native samples from four microbiome niches of...
