Scientists at the University of Glasgow have found a new paradigm in the understanding of bacterial evolution – an important element in the wider context of antibiotic resistance. The ability of most bacterial pathogens to cause disease depends on the presence of a class of genetic elements called “pathogenicity islands”. This new research – published in Molecular Cell – reveals how these pathogenicity islands hijack viruses to spread in nature, transforming non-pathogenic bacteria into virulent....
