Complete genome sequence of the emerging pathogen Cysteiniphilum spp. and comparative genomic analysis with genus Francisella: Insights into its genetic diversity and potential virulence traits.

Abstract excerpt

Cysteiniphilum is a newly discovered genus in 2017 and is phylogenetically closely related to highly pathogenic Francisella tularensis. Recently, it has become an emerging pathogen in humans. However, the complete genome sequence of genus Cysteiniphilum is lacking, and the genomic characteristics of genetic diversity, evolutionary dynamics, and pathogenicity have not been characterized. In this study, the...
