  • Beschreibung: <jats:title>Summary</jats:title><jats:p>Bacterial populations differentiate at the subspecies level into clonal complexes. Intraclonal genome diversity was studied in 100 isolates of the two dominant <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case"><jats:italic>P</jats:italic></jats:styled-content><jats:italic>seudomonas aeruginosa</jats:italic> clones <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">C</jats:styled-content> and <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">PA</jats:styled-content>14 collected from the inanimate environment, acute and chronic infections. The core genome was highly conserved among clone members with a median pairwise within‐clone single nucleotide sequence diversity of 8 × 10<jats:sup>−6</jats:sup> for clone <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">C</jats:styled-content> and 2 × 10<jats:sup>−5</jats:sup> for clone <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">PA</jats:styled-content>14. The composition of the accessory genome was, on the other hand, as variable within the clone as between unrelated clones. Each strain carried a large cargo of unique genes. The two dominant worldwide distributed <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case"><jats:italic>P</jats:italic></jats:styled-content>. <jats:italic>aeruginosa</jats:italic> clones combine an almost invariant core with the flexible gain and loss of genetic elements that spread by horizontal transfer.</jats:p>
