Lab discoveries of single mutations that increase infectiousness have quadrupled since 2015. Far more bacteria are one step away from becoming dangerous than previously thought, say the team managing the world’s only specialist database on the disease-causing genes of microbes. The scientists, led from Rothamsted Research, say there has been a sharp rise in the number of laboratory studies that show how just a single mutation can create highly infectious or ‘hypervirulent’ strains of disease-causing bacteria, fungi and water moulds...
