Article Synopsis
- Researchers sequenced genomes of 17 isolates from osteomyelitis lesions in young broilers, revealing three lineages closely related to two species.
- Evidence of horizontal gene transfer was found between lineages, notably a 186 kbp region that might have created Lineage 3.
- The study highlights high genomic diversity among Staphylococcus isolates linked to osteomyelitis in poultry and suggests a need to reassess the taxonomic classifications of the studied species.
