Independent Microevolution Mediated by Mobile Genetic Elements of Individual <named-content content-type="genus-species">Clostridium difficile</named-content> Isolates from Clade 4 Revealed by Whole-Genome Sequencing
ABSTRACT Horizontal gene transfer of mobile genetic elements (MGEs) accounts for the mosaic genome of Clostridium difficile, leading to acquisition of new phenotypes, including drug resistance and reconstruction of the genomes. MGEs were analyzed according to the whole-genome sequences of 37 C. diff...
