Genomic diversity of Escherichia coli isolates from healthy children in rural Gambia

E. Foster-Nyarko, N.-F. Alikhan, U. N. Ikumapayi, S. Golam, M. J. Hossain, C. Okoi, P.-E. Tientcheu, M. Defernez, J. OGrady, M. Antonio, M. J. Pallen

This study sequenced E. coli isolates from healthy children in rural Gambia, finding most diversity comes from immigration rather than within-host evolution.
