Abstract excerpt
Eighty soil-borne Bacillus cereus group isolates were collected from two neighbouring geographical sites in Belgium. Their genetic relationships and population structure were assessed using Multilocus sequence typing analysis of five chromosomal genes, while the contribution of extrachromosomal elements to the population dynamics was gauged by the presence, diversity and transfer capacity of pXO1- and pXO2-like...
