Similar levels of gene content variation observed for Pseudomonas syringae populations extracted from single and multiple host species.

Bacterial strains of the same species collected from different hosts frequently exhibit differences in gene content. In the ubiquitous plant pathogen Pseudomonas syringae, more than 30% of genes encoded by each strain are not conserved among strains colonizing other host species. Although they are o...
