Abstract
This forum explores the hypothesis that plants serve as a hub for the evolution of generalist Salmonella strains, and can be traced back to the Neolithic era when agriculture emerged. It suggests a unique interconnection among humans, plants, animals, and Salmonella, potentially driving the evolution of the pathogen on farms.
期刊介绍:
Trends in Microbiology serves as a comprehensive, multidisciplinary forum for discussing various aspects of microbiology, spanning cell biology, immunology, genetics, evolution, virology, bacteriology, protozoology, and mycology. In the rapidly evolving field of microbiology, technological advancements, especially in genome sequencing, impact prokaryote biology from pathogens to extremophiles, influencing developments in drugs, vaccines, and industrial enzyme research.
