Furthermore, virulence determinants were more highly represented 40 in specific MLST types, suggesting a role for WGS in identifying strains of greater clinical 41 decrease in diarrhea and histopathological / inflammatory responses. These compounds may 78 therefore represent a promising therapeutic approach as opposed to antibiotic therapy.
