Comparative phylogenomics of the food-borne pathogen <i>Campylobacter jejuni</i> reveals genetic markers predictive of infection source
17 Oct 2005
Abstract excerpt
Campylobacter jejuni is the predominant cause of bacterial gastroenteritis worldwide, but traditional typing methods are unable to discriminate strains from different sources that cause disease in humans. We report the use of genomotyping (whole-genome comparisons of microbes using DNA microarrays) combined with Bayesian-based algorithms to model the phylogeny of this major food-borne pathogen. In this study 111...
