Brucella genetic variability in wildlife marine mammals populations relates to host preference and ocean distribution
(Oxford University Press on behalf of the Society for Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2017-07-20)
Intracellular bacterial pathogens probably arose when their ancestor adapted from a free-living environment to an intracellular one, leading to clonal bacteria with smaller genomes and less sources of genetic plasticity. ...
