This study shows that simple sequence repeats in Bartonella bacteria drive adaptation to specific rodent hosts through frameshift mutations in adhesin genes.

This study identifies YopJ homologs in Bartonella as T4SS effectors, showing they evolved from an ancestral T4SS effector through acquisition of a T3SS translocation signal.
