Hypermutation as an Evolutionary Mechanism for <i>Achromobacter xylosoxidans</i> in Cystic Fibrosis Lung Infection

Hypermutation as an Evolutionary Mechanism for <i>Achromobacter xylosoxidans</i> in Cystic Fibrosis Lung Infection

<i>Achromobacter xylosoxidans</i> can cause chronic infections in the lungs of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) by adapting to the specific environment. The study of longitudinal isolates allows to investigate its within-host evolution to unravel the adaptive mechanisms contributing to...
