IntroductionParacoccus yeei is the first species in the genus Paracoccus to be implicated in opportunistic infections in humans. As a result, P. yeei strains provide a valuable model for exploring how bacteria shift from a saprophytic to a pathogenic

Bacteria of the genus Listeria (phylum Firmicutes) include both human and animal pathogens, as well as saprophytic strains. A common component of Listeria spp. genomes are plasmids, i.e., extrachromosomal replicons that contribute to gene flux in bac
