Volume 9, Issue 3 , September 2022, , Pages 146-155

https://doi.org/10.22038/rcm.2023.66126.1404

Abstract
  The formation of the massive deletion of genes called “black holes,” which are detrimental to a pathogenic lifestyle, provides a bacterial evolutionary route that permits a pathogen to augment virulence and host-adaptability. For example, cadaverine substrate has inhibitory effects on the ...  Read More
