A convergent evolutionary pathway attenuating cellulose production drives enhanced virulence of some bacteria
Abstract Bacteria adapt to selective pressure in their immediate environment in multiple ways. One mechanism involves the acquisition of independent mutations that disable or modify a key pathway, providing a signature of adaptation via convergent evolution. Extra-intestinal pathogenic Escherichia c...
