Identification of genes subject to positive selection in uropathogenic strains of Escherichia coli: a comparative genomics approach

Escherichia coli is a model laboratory bacterium, a species that is widely distributed in the environment, as well as a mutualist and pathogen in its human hosts. As such, E. coli represents an attractive organism to study how environment impacts microbial genome structure and function. Uropathogeni...
