Long-term colonization by campylobacter jejuni within a human host : Evolution, antimicrobial resistance and adaptation
Abstract
The patient was consistently colonized with organisms from a Campylobacter population that adapted to the internal environment of the patient. Genomic and phylogenetic analyses can give insight into a patient’s infection history and the effect of antimicrobial treatment on Campylobacter populations in this unusual situation of long-term colonization of an individual.
