Sex and virulence in Escherichia coli: an evolutionary perspective
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
The evolution of virulence is linked to bacterial sex because rates of evolution have accelerated in pathogenic lineages, culminating in highly virulent organisms whose genomic contents are altered frequently by increased rates of homologous recombination.
