Genome Structure of the Opportunistic Pathogen Paracoccus yeei (Alphaproteobacteria) and Identification of Putative Virulence Factors

Abstract excerpt

Bacteria of the genus Paracoccus are common components of the microbiomes of many naturally – and anthropogenically-shaped environments. One species, Paracoccus yeei, is unique within the genus because it is associated with opportunistic human infections. Therefore, strains of P. yeei may serve as an interesting model to study the transition from a saprophytic to a pathogenic lifestyle in environmental bacteria....
