Dps-dependent in vivo mutation enhances long-term host adaptation in Vibrio cholerae.
As one of the most successful pathogenic organisms, Vibrio cholerae (V. cholerae) has evolved sophisticated regulatory mechanisms to overcome host stress. During long-term colonization by V. cholerae in adult mice, many spontaneous nonmotile mutants (approximately 10% at the fifth day post-infection...
