A single natural nucleotide mutation alters bacterial pathogen host tropism
2015
Jose Penades and colleagues examine host adaptation and specificity for Staphylococcus aureus with analysis of the whole-genome sequences of strains isolated from humans or rabbits. They find that a rabbit-specific clone evolved through a human-to-rabbit host jump, enabled by a single mutation in dltB.
