Stabilizing Genetically Unstable Simple Sequence Repeats in the <named-content content-type="genus-species">Campylobacter jejuni</named-content> Genome by Multiplex Genome Editing: a Reliable Approach for Delineating Multiple Phase-Variable Genes

ABSTRACT Hypermutable simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are major drivers of phase variation in Campylobacter jejuni. The presence of multiple SSR-mediated phase-variable genes encoding enzymes that modify surface structures, including capsular polysaccharide (CPS) and lipooligosaccharide (LOS), genera...
