Evolutionary epidemiology of <i>Streptococcus iniae</i> : linking mutation rate dynamics with adaptation to novel immunological landscapes
2018-06-25
Abstract excerpt
Pathogens continuously adapt to changing host environments where variation in their virulence and antigenicity is critical to their long-term evolutionary success. The emergence of novel variants is accelerated in microbial mutator strains (mutators) deficient in DNA repair genes, most often from mismatch repair and oxidised-guanine repair systems (MMR and OG respectively). Bacterial MMR/OG mutants are abundant in...
