<i>Salmonella enterica</i> genomes recovered from victims of a major 16th century epidemic in Mexico

2017-02-08

Abstract excerpt

Indigenous populations of the Americas experienced high mortality rates during the early contact period as a result of infectious diseases, many of which were introduced by Europeans. Most of the pathogenic agents that caused these outbreaks remain unknown. Using a metagenomic tool called MALT to search for traces of ancient pathogen DNA, we were able to identify Salmonella enterica in individuals buried in an ea...
