Differentially evolved genes of Salmonella pathogenicity islands: insights into the mechanism of host specificity in Salmonella.
BACKGROUND: The species Salmonella enterica (S. enterica) includes many serovars that cause disease in avian and mammalian hosts. These serovars differ greatly in their host range and their degree of host adaptation. The host specificity of S. enterica serovars appears to be a complex phenomenon gov...
