Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the causative agent of American foulbrood (AFB) in honeybees, analyzing 506 samples from Slovenia between 2017-2019 for genetic typing.
- ERIC-PCR typing showed that ERIC II was predominant (70.2%), and whole-genome sequencing further identified seven outbreak clusters related to ERIC I, with specific intra-cluster genetic similarities.
- The findings emphasize that beekeeping practices play a significant role in the spread of AFB and suggest using whole-genome sequencing for tracking transmission clusters effectively.
