Pathogenicity islands of virulent bacteria: structure, function and impact on microbial evolution
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
Bacteriophage attachment sites and cryptic genes on Pais indicate that these particular genetic elements were previously able to spread among bacterial populations by horizontal gene transfer, a process known to contribute to microbial evolution.
