Experimental Evolution In Vivo To Identify Selective Pressures during Pneumococcal Colonization

Experimental Evolution In Vivo To Identify Selective Pressures during Pneumococcal Colonization

Evolution is a powerful force that can be experimentally harnessed to gain insight into how populations evolve in response to selective pressures. Herein we tested the applicability of experimental evolutionary approaches to gain insight into how the major human pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae res...
