Horizontal gene transfer and host specificity of beta‐haemolytic streptococci: the role of a putative composite transposon containing <i>scpB</i> and <i>lmb</i>

1 Aug 2001

Abstract excerpt

Beta-haemolytic streptococci are important human and animal pathogens: their genetic traits that are associated with the ability to infect human hosts remain, however, unclear. The surface protein, Lmb, mediates the adherence of Streptococcus agalactiae to human laminin. For further analysis of the corresponding gene, the adjacent genomic regions were sequenced. Lmb is localized on a putative composite transposon...
