Characterization of probiotic Escherichia coli isolates with a novel pan-genome microarray

A high-density microarray has been designed that covers the genomes of 24 Escherichia coli and 8 Shigella strains. As a proof-of-principle the genomes of four probiotic E. coli strains were analyzed and their phylogenetic relationship to other E.coli strains investigated.
