Kimberly Davis works in the field of bacterial pathogenesis and studies heterogeneity in bacterial populations within host tissues. In this mSphere of Influence article, she reflects on how the paper "Stabilization of cooperative virulence by the expression of an avirulent phenotype" by M. Diard et al. (M. Diard et al., 494:353-6, 2013, DOI: 10.1038/nature11913) impacted the way she thinks about bacterial population dynamics and the costs and benefits of producing virulence factors during infection.
金伯利·戴维斯（Kimberly Davis）从事细菌发病机制领域的研究，专注于宿主组织内细菌群体的异质性。在本期《mSphere 影响力》文章中，她回顾了 M. Diard 等人的论文“通过表达无毒表型稳定共生毒力”（M. Diard 等，494:353-6，2013，DOI: 10.1038/nature11913）对她思考细菌种群动态以及在感染过程中产生毒力因子的成本和收益的方式产生的影响。
