Persistence of a dominant bovine lineage of group B S treptococcus reveals genomic signatures of host adaptation
7 Oct 2016
Abstract excerpt
Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a host-generalist species, most notably causing disease in humans and cattle. However, the differential adaptation of GBS to its two main hosts, and the risk of animal to human infection remain poorly understood. Despite improvements in control measures across Europe, GBS is still one of the main causative agents of bovine mastitis in Portugal. Here, by whole-genome analysis of 150...
