title: Genomic analyses of microbial virulence.
abstract: Genomic sequencing of bacterial pathogens is providing an increasing wealth of new data. It is, however, still unclear how this information can be used to develop new experimental approaches. Here, we describe recent efforts to complement existing bacterial genetics with genomic methods for the study of pathogenesis.
