Investigation of the influence of phase variable restriction modification systems and lipooligosaccharide epitopes on resistance of Haemophilus influenzae to infection by bacteriophage

The evolution of ON/OFF switching phase variable loci is presumed to have arisen due to the need for bacterial populations to cope with uncertain environments where selection fluctuates between opposing pressures. One such selection is believed to be the presence of bacteriophage. Bacteriophage can...
