Massive genome decay and insertion sequence expansion drive the evolution of a novel host-restricted bacterial pathogen

2020-10-13

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> The emergence of new pathogens is a major threat to public and veterinary health. Changes in bacterial habitat such as those associated with a switch in host or disease tropism are often accompanied by genetic adaptation. Staphylococcus aureus is a multi-host bacterial species comprising strains with distinct tropisms for human and livestock species. A microaerophilic subspecies, Staphylococ...
