Genetic analysis of Mycobacterium abscessus reveals genomic diversity linked to global plasmid distribution

Kensuke Ohse, Atsushi Yoshida, Keisuke Kamada, Hironobu Kitazawa, Yusuke Ito, Takayo Shoji, Kenichiro Watanabe, Hiroshi Koganemaru, Ken Kikuchi, Masashi Toyoda

The paper analyzes plasmid distribution in Mycobacterium abscessus using whole genome sequencing to show how plasmid transfer increases genomic diversity and aids in estimating bacterial contact history.
