Application of Comparative Phylogenomics To Study the Evolution ofYersinia enterocoliticaand To Identify Genetic Differences Relating to Pathogenicity

Abstract excerpt

Yersinia enterocolitica, an important cause of human gastroenteritis generally caused by the consumption of livestock, has traditionally been categorized into three groups with respect to pathogenicity, i.e., nonpathogenic (biotype 1A), low pathogenicity (biotypes 2 to 5), and highly pathogenic (biotype 1B). However, genetic differences that explain variation in pathogenesis and whether different biotypes are...
