Complete genome sequence and comparative genomic analysis of an emerging human pathogen, serotype V <i>Streptococcus agalactiae</i>
28 Aug 2002
Abstract excerpt
The 2,160,267 bp genome sequence of Streptococcus agalactiae, the leading cause of bacterial sepsis, pneumonia, and meningitis in neonates in the U.S. and Europe, is predicted to encode 2,175 genes. Genome comparisons among S. agalactiae, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus pyogenes, and the other completely sequenced genomes identified genes specific to the streptococci and to S. agalactiae. These in silico...
