TL;DR: This study integrated human epidemiological and clinical data with bacterial population genomics to harness the biodiversity of the model foodborne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes and decipher the basis of its neural and placental tropisms.

TL;DR: This study characterized the staphylococcal strains related to these SFPO through phenotypic and genotypic analyses and identified 33 strains identified as S. aureus species.

TL;DR: A comparison of experimental mutants selected in vitro, field strains, and mutantsselected in vivo suggests that highly fluoroquinolone-resistant strains are counterselected in field conditions in the absence of selective pressure.

TL;DR: The RS-HP method based on the PCR amplification of the intergenic spacer region between the 16S and 23S rRNA genes can produce amplicon profiles allowing the discrimination of species at both serotype and intraserotype levels, and represents a powerful tool that could be used for rapid typing of Salmonella isolates.

TL;DR: The combination of virulence gene and antimicrobial resistance gene typing using DNA arrays is a recently developed genomics-based approach to bacterial molecular epidemiology that seems likely to enable Salmonella to adapt to different environmental conditions, which might be reflected in serovar-specific ecology.
