Abstract excerpt
The occurrence of 7 of the 11 known ssl genes that are found within the vSaalpha genomic island of Staphylococcus aureus and encode the novel Ssl family of exoproteins was examined in isolates from cows (42 isolates), goats (4 isolates), sheep (1 isolate), rabbits (3 isolates) and chickens (2 isolates).
