Accessory genome of the multi-drug resistant ocular isolate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA34.

Bacteria can acquire an accessory genome through the horizontal transfer of genetic elements from non-parental lineages. This leads to rapid genetic evolution allowing traits such as antibiotic resistance and virulence to spread through bacterial communities. The study of complete genomes of bacteri...
