The Infectious Dose Shapes Vibrio Cholerae Within-Host Dynamics
Gillman, Aaron Nicholas; Mahmutovic, Anel; Abel zur Wiesch, Pia; Abel, Sören (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-07)During infection, the rates of pathogen replication, death, and migration affect disease progression, dissemination, transmission, and resistance evolution. Here, we follow the population dynamics of Vibrio cholerae in a mouse model by labeling individual bacteria with one of >500 unique, fitness-neutral genomic tags. Using the changes in tag frequencies and CFU numbers, we inform a mathematical ... -
RESTAMP – Rate estimates by sequence-tag analysis of microbial populations
Mahmutovic, Anel; Gillman, Aaron Nicholas; Lauksund, Silje; Robson Moe, Natasha-Anne; Manzi, Aimé; Storflor, Merete; Abel-Zur Wiesch Genannt Hülsho, Pia Karoline; Abel, Sören (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-01-19)Microbial division rates determine the speed of mutation accumulation and thus the emergence of antimicrobial resistance. Microbial death rates are affected by antibiotic action and the immune system. Therefore, measuring these rates has advanced our understanding of host-pathogen interactions and antibiotic action. Several methods based on marker-loss or few inheritable neutral markers exist that ...
