ANALYSIS OF THE GLOBAL POPULATION STRUCTURE OF PAENIBACILLUS LARVAE AND OUTBREAK INVESTIGATION OF AMERICAN FOULBROOD USING A STABLE WGMLST SCHEME

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 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-wide diversity Key Lo
