ClustAGE: a tool for clustering and distribution analysis of bacterial accessory genomic elements
Background The non-conserved accessory genome of bacteria can be associated with important adaptive characteristics that can contribute to niche specificity or pathogenicity of strains.

Pandora: nucleotide-resolution bacterial pan-genomics with reference graphs
We present pandora, a novel pan-genome graph structure and algorithms for identifying variants across the full bacterial pan-genome. As much bacterial adaptability hinges on the accessory genome, methods which analyze SNPs in just the core genome have ...

Neutral genomic microevolution of a recently emerged pathogen, salmonella enterica serovar agona [PDF]
Salmonella enterica serovar Agona has caused multiple food-borne outbreaks of gastroenteritis since it was first isolated in 1952. We analyzed the genomes of 73 isolates from global sources, comparing five distinct outbreaks with sporadic infections as

Genome analysis of a highly virulent serotype 1 strain of streptococcus pneumoniae from West Africa [PDF]
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a leading cause of pneumonia, meningitis, and bacteremia, estimated to cause 2 million deaths annually. The majority of pneumococcal mortality occurs in developing countries, with serotype 1 a leading cause in these areas.

Phylogenomic analysis of lactobacillus curvatus reveals two lineages distinguished by genes for fermenting plant-derived carbohydrates [PDF]
Lactobacillus curvatus is a lactic acid bacterium encountered in many different types of fermented food (meat, seafood, vegetables, and cereals). Although this species plays an important role in the preservation of these foods, few attempts have been ...

The landscape of coadaptation in Vibrio parahaemolyticus
Investigating fitness interactions in natural populations remains a considerable challenge. We take advantage of the unique population structure of Vibrio parahaemolyticus, a bacterial pathogen of humans and shrimp, to perform a genome-wide screen for ...

The influence of the accessory genome on bacterial pathogen evolution [PDF]
Bacterial pathogens exhibit significant variation in their genomic content of virulence factors. This reflects the abundance of strategies pathogens evolved to infect host organisms by suppressing host immunity.

Phylogenomics of Globally Spread Clonal Groups 14 and 15 of Klebsiella pneumoniae
Klebsiella pneumoniae sequence type 14 (ST14) and ST15 caused outbreaks of CTX-M-15 and/or carbapenemase producers worldwide, but their phylogeny and global dynamics remain unclear. We clarified the evolution of K.
