mSphere of Influence: If virulence is energetically costly, how can it be maintained?
ABSTRACT Kimberly Davis works in the field of bacterial pathogenesis and studies heterogeneity in bacterial populations within host tissues. In this mSphere of Influence article, she reflects on how the paper “Stabilization of cooperative virulence by the expression of an avirulent phenotype” by M....

| description | ABSTRACT Kimberly Davis works in the field of bacterial pathogenesis and studies heterogeneity in bacterial populations within host tissues. In this mSphere of Influence article, she reflects on how the paper “Stabilization of cooperative virulence by the expression of an avirulent phenotype” by M. Diard et al. (M. Diard et al., Nature 494:353–6, 2013, DOI: 10.1038/nature11913) impacted the way she thinks about bacterial population dynamics and the costs and benefits of producing virulence factors during infection. |
