In vivo evolution of an emerging zoonotic bacterial pathogen in an immunocompromised human host
Bordetella hinzii is an emerging pathogen with zoonotic risk to humans, known to be able to cause respiratory tract infection, bacteremia and endocarditis. Here, applying whole genome sequencing to bacterial isolates, the authors characterize the mechanisms driving adaptive evolution in B. hinzii in...
