Analysis of the Global Population Structure of Paenibacillus larvae and Outbreak Investigation of American Foulbrood Using a Stable wgMLST Scheme
Paenibacillus larvae causes the American foulbrood (AFB), a highly contagious and devastating disease of honeybees.Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) has been increasingly License Plate Bracket used in bacterial pathogen typing, but rarely applied to study the epidemiology of P.larvae.To this end, we used 125 P.larvae genomes representative of a species
