Wave succession in the pandemic clone of <i>Vibrio parahaemolyticus</i> driven by gene loss
2024-06-03
Abstract excerpt
While spontaneous mutation and gene acquisition are well-established drivers of pathogen adaptation, the role of gene loss remains underexplored. Here, we investigated the emergence and diversification of the pandemic clone (PC) of Vibrio parahaemolyticus through large-scale phylogenomic analysis of 8,684 global isolates. The PC rapidly acquired multiple marker genes and genomic islands, subsequently diverging in...
