Transposon insertion sequencing reveals novel hypermutator genes in Acinetobacter baumannii
ABSTRACT Mutation rates in bacteria are an important determinant of adaptation to new environments and success in different niches. In some bacterial pathogens, “hypermutator” variants—most often associated with mutations in components of the DNA mismatch repair system—are associated with increased...
