Mutation rate dynamics reflect ecological change in an emerging zoonotic pathogen.

Mutation rates vary both within and between bacterial species, and understanding what drives this variation is essential for understanding the evolutionary dynamics of bacterial populations. In this study, we investigate two factors that are predicted to influence the mutation rate: ecology and geno...
