Genomic fluidity and pathogenic bacteria: applications in diagnostics, epidemiology and intervention
- Niyaz Ahmed, Ulrich Dobrindt, Jörg Hacker, Seyed E. Hasnain,
- Original article citation: Nat Rev Micro 6," 387 - 394, (2008).
- Categories: Cell & Molecular Biology and Ecology & Evolution
- Recommended by: Irshad AHMED on 04/17/2008 08:30AM GMT
- Reasons for recommending:
Its a good opinionated piece which I think is the first commissioned article in a Nature journal from CDFD. The paper systematically highlights how genome evolution in pathogenic bacteria can be put to action in healthcare.

Kudos to Indian Science!!
This is an excellent article on genome plasticity in intracellular pathogens.The merit lies in a novel description to harness these facets of genome for the development of better vaccines and diagnostics.
