Parallel bacterial evolution within multiple patients identifies candidate pathogenicity genes
2011
Roy Kishony and colleagues sequenced the genomes of 112 Burkholderia dolosa isolates recovered from 14 individuals with cystic fibrosis as part of a retrospective study from a hospital epidemic monitored over the course of 16 years. They tracked recurrent mutations occurring in the bacterial isolates and found that 17 genes showed evidence of parallel adaptive evolution.
