An examination of persistent bacterial infections in the light of ecological and evolutionary principles.
- Focuses on the principles of parasitism and commensalism and our ability to distinguish the two states.
- Explores the ways in which persistent infections differ from acute, self-limiting bacterial infections and how both differ from the nonpathogenic commensal state.
- Addresses coevolution, host adaptation, natural selection, and other...
