Classification of a Novel Francisella Clinical Isolate via Whole Genome Sequencing
Abstract
The accumulation of sequenced Francisella strains has made it increasingly apparent that the 16S rRNA gene, alone, is no longer enough to stratify the Francisella genus into precise and clinically useful classifications.... [ view full abstract ]
