Predicting the pathogenicity of bacterial genomes using widely spread protein families

Abstract Background The human body is inhabited by a diverse community of commensal non-pathogenic bacteria, many of which are essential for our health. By contrast, pathogenic bacteria have the ability to invade their hosts and cause a disease. Characterizing the differences between pathogenic and...
