Quantitative dose-response analysis untangles host bottlenecks to enteric infection
2022-10-12
Abstract excerpt
Host bottlenecks prevent many infections before the onset of disease by eliminating invading pathogens. Monitoring the diversity of a barcoded population of the diarrhea causing bacterium Citrobacter rodentium during colonization of its natural host, mice, allowed us to determine the number of cells that found the infection by establishing a replicative niche. The size of the pathogen’s founding population scaled...
