Abstract excerpt
To determine the evolutionary mechanisms generating serotypic diversity in Salmonella strains, we sequenced the central, antigen-determining part of the phase 1 flagellin gene (fliC) in strains of several serovars for which estimates of chromosomal genomic relatedness had been obtained by multilo...
