Bacterial phylogenetic reconstruction from whole genomes is robust to recombination but demographic inference is not.
Phylogenetic inference in bacterial genomics is fundamental to understanding problems such as population history, antimicrobial resistance, and transmission dynamics. The field has been plagued by an apparent state of contradiction since the distorting effects of recombination on phylogeny were disc...
