Stabilizing genetically unstable simple sequence repeats in the <i>Campylobacter jejuni</i> genome by multiplex genome editing: a reliable approach for delineating multiple phase-variable genes

2021-05-14

Abstract excerpt

Hypermutability of simple sequence repeats (SSR) through DNA slippage is a major mechanism of phase variation in Campylobacter jejuni. The presence of multiple SSR-mediated phase-variable genes encoding enzymes that modify surface structures, including capsular polysaccharide (CPS) and lipooligosaccharide (LOS), generates high levels of structural variants within bacterial populations, thereby promoting adaptatio...
