Black holes”, “Genome fluidity”, and Evolution of Bacterial Species [PDF]

Reviews in Clinical Medicine, 2022
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.
