Abstract excerpt
The level of diversity, degree of enzyme polymorphism, effective population size, and the relative roles of drift and selection were examined in a cross-section of a natural Escherichia coli population based on random samples of haplotypes of E. coli isolated from sewage. The population studied contained E. coli strains derived from a human population of approximately 16,000 individuals, as well as from other...
