Comparative genomics of a novel clade shed light on the evolution of the genus Erysipelothrix and characterise an emerging species

Abstract Erysipelothrix sp. isolates obtained from a deadly outbreak in farmed turkeys were sequenced and compared to representatives of the genus. Phylogenetic trees—supported by digital DNA:DNA hybridization and Average Nucleotide Identity—revealed a novel monophyletic clade comprising isolates fr...
