A Gene-By-Gene Approach to Bacterial Population Genomics: Whole Genome MLST of Campylobacter

Abstract excerpt

Campylobacteriosis remains a major human public health problem world-wide. Genetic analyses of Campylobacter isolates, and particularly molecular epidemiology, have been central to the study of this disease, particularly the characterization of Campylobacter genotypes isolated from human infection, farm animals, and retail food. These studies have demonstrated that Campylobacter populations are highly structured,...
