TL;DR: It is suggested that by stepwise gain and loss of chromosomal and plasmid-encoded virulence factors, a highly pathogenic hybrid of EAEC and EHEC emerged as the current outbreak clone.

TL;DR: Results demonstrate that Wolbachia persica should be reclassified in the genus Francisella as Francisella persica comb, which is supported by data generated from genomic comparisons of W. persica ATCC VR-331T to other near neighbours.

TL;DR: Results showed that WGMs could be used not only to genotype S. aureus but also to identify genetic motifs in MRSA that may predict virulence, including small and large insertions and deletions.

TL;DR: This optical mapping procedure holds promise as an alternative way to subgroup all E. coli strains, including those involved in infections outside of the intestinal tract and epidemic strains with distinct patterns of antibiotic resistance.

TL;DR: Whole-genome mapping is a viable alternative tool for the epidemiological analysis of Salmonella food-borne disease investigations and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis was concordant with 22 of 23 isolates.
