Mutational signature analysis predicts bacterial hypermutation and multidrug resistance

Abstract Bacteria of clinical importance, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, can become hypermutators upon loss of DNA mismatch repair (MMR) and are clinically correlated with high rates of multidrug resistance (MDR). Here, we demonstrate that hypermutated MMR-deficient P. aeruginosa has a unique mutat...
