Abstract
With more than one million bacterial genome sequences uploaded to public databases in the last 25 years, genomics has become a powerful tool for studying bacterial biology. Here, we review recent approaches that leverage large numbers of whole genome sequences to decipher the spread and pathogenesis of bacterial infectious diseases.
