Background Escherichia coli exists in commensal and pathogenic forms. By measuring the
variation of individual genes across more than a hundred sequenced genomes, gene …

Background A pan-genome is defined as the set of all unique gene families found in one or
more strains of a prokaryotic species. Due to the extensive within-species diversity in the …

Salmonella enterica is divided into four subspecies containing a large number of different
serovars, several of which are important zoonotic pathogens and some show a high degree …

The genus Pseudomonas has gone through many taxonomic revisions over the past 100
years, going from a very large and diverse group of bacteria to a smaller, more refined and …
