Trade-Offs of Escherichia coli Adaptation to an Intracellular Lifestyle in Macr...

The rate and effects of mutations that can cause pathoadaptation are key determinants of the pace at which E. coli can colonize such niches and become pathogenic. We used experimental evolution to determine the s...
