Genome reduction is associated with bacterial pathogenicity across different scales of temporal and ecological divergence

2020-07-04

Abstract excerpt

Emerging bacterial pathogens threaten global health and food security, and so it is important to ask whether these transitions to pathogenicity have any common features. We present a systematic study of the claim that pathogenicity is associated with genome reduction and gene loss. We compare broad-scale patterns across all bacteria, with detailed analyses of Streptococcus suis, a zoonotic pathogen of pigs, which...
