High Genomic Identity between Clinical and Environmental Strains of <i>Herbaspirillum frisingense</i> Suggests Pre-Adaptation to Different Hosts and Intrinsic Resistance to Multiple Drugs

The genus <i>Herbaspirillum</i> is widely studied for its ability to associate with grasses and to perform biological nitrogen fixation. However, the bacteria of the <i>Herbaspirillum</i> genus have frequently been isolated from clinical samples. Understanding the genomic cha...
