Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: We aimed to determine novel alleles and their prevalence in Streptococcus canis M-like protein (SCM) and to elucidate association of their alleles with sequence types (STs)/clonal complexes (CCs) and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) phenotypes/genotypes. METHODS: We amplified and sequenced scm, by using primers reported by Pinho recently, for 40 isolates in 2015 and 2017, in which the sequences could not...
