Host imprints on bacterial genomes--rapid, divergent evolution in individual patients.

Host imprints on bacterial genomes--rapid, divergent evolution in individual patients.

Bacteria lose or gain genetic material and through selection, new variants become fixed in the population. Here we provide the first, genome-wide example of a single bacterial strain's evolution in different deliberately colonized patients and the surprising insight that hosts appear to persona...
