Bacterial phase variation associated with repetitive DNA

1999-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Phase variation is mechanism of phenotypic switching used by many pathogenic bacterial species. This thesis describes work on three aspects of phase variation. Mathematical models are described which can be used to determine the rate of phase variation and subsequently the influence of variation rate and fitness differences associated with the altered phenotype on population structure. An approach to whole genome...
