Unraveling the evolutionary forces shaping bacterial diversity can today be tackled using a growing amount of genomic data. In recent years, the number of completely sequenced prokaryotic genomes has increased to around 1700 (NCBI). In particular, first datasets are available for samples of complete genomes from closely related strains, which are of the same bacterial species (Medini et al., 2005
