Selection of Bacterial Mutants in Late Infections: When Vector Transmission Trades Off against Growth Advantage in Stationary Phase
Pathogens can evolve inside their host, and the importance of this mutation-fueled process is increasingly recognized. A disease outcome may indeed depend in part on pathogen adaptations that emerge during infection. It is therefore important to document these adaptations and the conditions that dri...
