Pathogen to commensal: longitudinal within-host population dynamics, evolution, and adaptation during a chronic >16-year <i>Burkholderia pseudomallei</i> infection
2019-02-17
Abstract excerpt
Although acute melioidosis is the most common outcome of Burkholderia pseudomallei infection, we have documented a case, P314, where the disease severity lessened with time, and the pathogen evolved towards a commensal relationship with the host. In the current study, we used whole-genome sequencing to monitor this chronic infection to better understand B. pseudomallei persistence in P314’s sputum despite intens...
