Origins of pandemic <i>Vibrio cholerae</i> from environmental gene pools

2016-07-10

Abstract excerpt

Some microbes can transition from an environmental lifestyle to a pathogenic one 1–3 . This ecological switch typically occurs through the acquisition of horizontally acquired virulence genes 4,5 . However, the genomic features that must be present in a population prior to the acquisition of virulence genes and emergence of pathogenic clones remain unknown. We hypothesized that virulence adaptive polymorphisms (...
