Sex and virulence in Escherichia coli: an evolutionary perspective

Sex and virulence in Escherichia coli: an evolutionary perspective

Pathogenic Escherichia coli cause over 160 million cases of dysentery and one million deaths per year, whereas non-pathogenic E. coli constitute part of the normal intestinal flora of healthy mammals and birds. The evolutionary pathways underlying this dichotomy in bacterial lifestyle were investiga...
