In-Host Adaptation of Salmonella enterica Serotype Dublin during Prosthetic Hip Joint Infection.

ABSTRACT: Genome degradation has been central to the adaptation of Salmonella enterica serotypes to their hosts throughout evolution. We witnessed the patho-adaptation of a strain of Salmonella Dublin (a cattle-adapted serotype) to a human host during the course of a recurrent prosthetic hip joint infection evolving over several years.
