To help in prioritizing the research and development of new and effective antibiotics treatments, the World Health Organization recently issued a global priority list of antibiotic-resistant bacteria considered to have the most substantial impact on global health at the current time. Whereas the phylogeny of prokaryotes is often judged based only on the 16S ribosomal RNA gene such relationships do not coincide with those based on various antibiotic resistance genes. Furthermore, the genetic basis of antibiotic resistance is not fully understood in all these pathogens. Therefore, it is of interest to examine the phylogeny of high-priority bacterial pathogens across their entire genomes. The taxonomic classification of the species of origin is included for comparison.
The settings for this case study were:
Forward only / Forward and reverse: Forward only
Speed/sensitivity: sensitive
Length of subsequence: 160
