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.
Keywords:
France; Salmonella enterica serotype Dublin; adaptation; bacteria; bone and joint infection; epidemiology.
