In today’s #MetagenomicsMonday: a study combining palaeopathology 🦴 and pathogen genomics 🧬🦠 revisits a presumed tuberculosis case from the North Caucasus. Instead of M. tuberculosis, ancient DNA of Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae was recovered and a high-quality genome reconstructed (clade II, serotype 5), pointing to a different/more complex infectious scenario.
