The controlled chaos of shifty pathogens.

D M Faguy1.   

Abstract

Bacterial pathogens use novel mechanisms to vary their surface structures. Three new genome sequences provide a perspective on these mechanisms in Borrelia burgdorferi, Neisseria meningitidis, and Campylobacter jejuni, which cause lyme disease, meningitis and gastroenteritis, respectively.
