Old Salmonella Genomes Reveal Human way of life – Related Host Adaptations
A global group drove by specialists in Germany and the US has sequenced a bunch of antiquated Salmonella genomes, revealing a group of moderately unspecialized bugs in a similar ancestry that created the human-explicit pathogen S. enterica Paratyphi C.
The specialists, who revealed their discoveries Monday in Nature Ecology and Evolution, additionally observed a move toward have explicit S. enterica strains in societies with increasingly rural ways of life.
"Bacterial genomic comparisons suggest that the earlier ancient strains were not host-specific, differed in pathogenic potential, and experienced convergent pseudogenization that accompanied their downstream host adaptation," composed co-senior and relating creators Johannes Krause and Alexander Herbig, archaeogenetics speciali...
