Comparative Genome Analysis of Hungarian and Global Strains of Salmonella Infantis

ConclusionAccessory genome of S. Infantis showed the highest diversity suggesting a faster evolution than that of the whole genomes contributing to the emergence of multiple genetic variants of S. Infantis worldwide. Accordingly, in spite of the comprehensive analysis of several genomic characteristics, no epidemiologic links between these S. Infantis strains from different countries could be established. It is also concluded that several strains originally designated as S. Infantis need in databanks reclassification.
