Abstract
To establish and maintain chronic infections, many pathogens adapt in response to selective pressures within the host, leaving unique genetic signatures. A new study uses whole-genome and population sequencing approaches to identify evidence of adaptive evolution in Burkholderia dolosa genomes isolated from chronic infections in patients with cystic fibrosis.Entities:
