Random sorting of Campylobacter jejuni phase variants due to a narrow bottleneck during colonization of broiler chickens

Phase variation (PV), involving stochastic switches in gene expression, is exploited by the human pathogen Campylobacter jejuni to adapt to different environmental and host niches. Phase-variable genes of C. jejuni modulate expression of multiple surface determinants, and hence may influence host co...
