Evidence for Neolithic acquisition of the high pathogenic island by <i>Escherichia coli</i> followed by recent selection

2025-09-18

Abstract excerpt

Many genetic elements involved in virulence and pathogenicity have been identified in commensal bacteria that are also opportunistic pathogens, but how these elements evolve is less well known. Understanding the evolutionary history of virulence elements requires genomes sampled in commensalism in healthy hosts, as genomes from bacterial infections are biased towards higher pathogenicity. Here, using a rare collec...
