Abstract

See full text

Methods for identifying bacterial strains by using sets of distributed genes that are present in some but not all strains of a given species, associated methods for treating bacterial infections are disclosed. The methods may include examining a sample of a bacterial species, selecting a strain of interest based on possession of a unique genetic characteristic that is present in only the strain of interest and not in the other strains, examining the distributed genes possessed by the strain of interest, and detecting gene-possession variation in the distributed genes of the sample strains as compared to genes of known strains.
