The Pseudomonas aeruginosa's pan-genome was described by means of comparing and clustering all the predicted proteins of the selected strains (Table 1). The clustering was done using CD-HIT version 4.
We have sequenced nine P. aeruginosa PAO1 strains from our in-house collection of bacterial isolates. Each strain was acquired from a different lab on a different date, spanning over 15 years. Our goa
