Abstract:Deciphering the genotypic diversity of within-individual pathogens and verifying the evolutionary model can help elucidate resistant genotypes, virulent subpopulations, and the mechanism of opportunistic pathogenicity. However, observed polymorphic mutations (PMs) are rare and difficult to be detected in the “dominant-lineage” model of bacterial infection due to the low frequency. The four pooled group B Streptococcus (GBS) samples were collected from the genital tracts of healthy pregnant women, and the poole… Show more
