- Abstract
The article discusses the article "Parallel bacterial evolution within multiple patients identifies candidate pathogenicity genes," by T. D. Lieberman and colleagues. The researchers carried out a retrospective analysis of a Burkholderia dolosa outbreak that occurred over a 16-year period in patients with cystic fibrosis. This study shows that the parallel adaptive evolution of a bacterial pathogen during infection of humans and identifies new candidate pathogenicity genes.
