Quantifying bacterial evolution in the wild: a birthday problem for <i>Campylobacter</i> lineages

2020-12-03

Abstract excerpt

Measuring molecular evolution in bacteria typically requires estimation of the rate at which nucleotide changes accumulate in strains sampled at different times that share a common ancestor. This approach has been useful for dating ecological and evolutionary events that coincide with the emergence of important lineages, such as outbreak strains and obligate human pathogens. However, in multi-host (niche) transmis...
