Genome-wide association study identifies vitamin B ₅ biosynthesis as a host specificity factor in <i>Campylobacter</i>

Abstract excerpt

Genome-wide association studies have the potential to identify causal genetic factors underlying important phenotypes but have rarely been performed in bacteria. We present an association mapping method that takes into account the clonal population structure of bacteria and is applicable to both core and accessory genome variation. Campylobacter is a common cause of human gastroenteritis as a consequence of its...
