Abstract excerpt
Mycobacterium avium subsp. hominissuis (MAH) is a clinically important species of non-tuberculous mycobacteria that causes infections in a variety of hosts. This opportunistic pathogen is widespread in the environment, including natural and engineered water systems across the globe. To examine the current genetic diversity of this organism, we analysed 702 MAH genomes isolated from humans, pigs and environmental...
