Genome Sequence Survey Identifies Unique Sequences and Key Virulence Genes with Unusual Rates of Amino Acid Substitution in Bovine <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>
1 Jul 2002
Abstract excerpt
Staphylococcus aureus is a major cause of mastitis in bovine and other ruminant species. We here present the results of a comparative genomic analysis between a bovine mastitis-associated clone, RF122, and the recently sequenced human-associated clones, Mu50 and N315, of Staphylococcus aureus. A shotgun sequence survey of approximately 10% of the RF122 genome identified numerous unique sequences and those with...
