Evolutionary mechanisms of pathogens – from commensality to virulence

University of Leicester

Department of Genetics, Genomics and Cancer Sciences

Clinically relevant pathogens evolve through a complex interplay of within-host evolution (including host and antibiotic selective pressure and interactions with other microorganisms), transmission dynamics, and metapopulation processes between hosts. Read more

Evaluating the genetic basis and evolution of virulence and antimicrobial drug resistance in Helicobacter pylori in a populational model

University of Leicester

Department of Genetics, Genomics and Cancer Sciences

Project background. Characterization of the genetic variation of bacterial species and the evolutionary mechanisms leading to that variation is crucial for understanding bacterial adaptation to their host environments, as well as the evolution of phenotypes such as virulence and antimicrobial drug resistance (AMR).
