Investigate the evolutionary dynamics of microbial pathogens
Delve into the mechanisms driving microbial evolution, including genetic mutation, horizontal gene transfer, and selective pressures imposed by the environment and host interactions. Discuss how microbial populations adapt and diversify in response to changing environmental conditions, such as nutrient availability, temperature fluctuations, and exposure to antimicrobial agents. Investigate the evolutionary dynamics of microbial pathogens and their hosts, including the emergence of antimicrobial resistance and the co-evolutionary arms race between microbes and their hosts. Consider the implications of microbial evolution for infectious disease emergence, public health, and the development of novel therapeutic strategies.
