Identification and characterization of novel Salmonella mobile elements involved in the dissemination of genes linked to virulence and transmission.

The genetic diversity represented by >2,500 different Salmonella serovars provides a yet largely uncharacterized reservoir of mobile elements that can contribute to the frequent emergence of new pathogenic strains of this important zoonotic pathogen. Currently, our understanding of Salmonella mob...
