Comparative genomics reveals key adaptive mechanisms in pathogen host-niche specialization
6 Jun 2025
Abstract excerpt
Introduction Understanding the key factors that enable bacterial pathogens to adapt to new hosts is crucial, as host-microbe interactions not only influence host health but also drive bacterial genome diversification, thereby enhancing pathogen survival in various ecological niches. Methods We conducted a comparative genomic analysis of 4,366 high-quality bacterial genomes isolated from various hosts and...
