CTAG-containing cleavage site profiling to delineate Salmonella into natural clusters.

<h4>Background</h4>The bacterial genus Salmonella contains thousands of serotypes that infect humans or other hosts, causing mild gastroenteritis to potentially fatal systemic infections in humans. Pathogenically distinct Salmonella serotypes have been classified as individual species or...
