Genetic boundaries delineate the potential human pathogen Salmonella bongori into discrete lineages: divergence and speciation

Abstract Background Salmonella bongori infect mainly cold-blooded hosts, but infections by S. bongori in warm-blooded hosts have been reported. We hypothesized that S. bongori might have diverged into distinct phylogenetic lineages, with some being able to infect warm-blooded hosts. Results To inspe...
