DNA Sequence Analysis of the Genetic Structure of Populations of Salmonella Enterica and Escherichia Coli

  • Chapter
Bacterial Diversity and Systematics

Part of the book series: Federation of European Microbiological Societies Symposium Series ((FEMS,volume 75))

Abstract

The goal of bacterial population genetics is to understand the factors that determine genetic structure and mediate evolutionary change in natural populations. This broad objective transcends the practical needs of microbiologists for methods of species identification and strain discrimination for epidemiological and other purposes, but the findings of population genetics research have important implications for several branches of medical microbiology (Selander and Musser, 1990), as well as for bacterial systematics.
