Population genetics and evolution of the pan-genome of Streptococcus pneumoniae.

International journal of medical microbiology : IJMM - 1 Dec 2011

Muzzi Alessandro, Donati Claudio

Abstract excerpt

The genetic variability in bacterial species is much larger than in other kingdoms of life. The gene content between pairs of isolates can diverge by as much as 30% in species like Escherichia coli or Streptococcus pneumoniae. This unexpected finding led to the introduction of the concept of the pan-genome, the set of genes that can be found in a given bacterial species. The genome of any isolate is thus composed...
