Researchers retrace evolution of unusual bacterial infection
Researchers at Harvard Medical School and Children's Hospital Boston have retraced the evolution of an unusual bacterial infection as it spread among cystic fibrosis patients by sequencing scores of samples collected during the outbreak, since contained.
The October 13 issue of the Open Access journal PLoS Pathogens published research that uncovered how a common hospital bacterium transforms into a deadly super-bug killing increasing numbers of hospital patients worldwide.
