Comparative Genomic Analysis of Fusobacterium necrophorum Provides Insights into Conserved Virulence Genes

Abstract excerpt

Fusobacterium necrophorum is an anaerobic bacterium that causes liver abscesses in cattle with an annual incidence rate of 10% to 20%, resulting in a substantial economic impact on the cattle industry. The lack of definite biochemical tests makes it difficult to distinguish F. necrophorum subspecies phenotypically, where genomic characterization plays a significant role. However, due to the lack of a good...
