Cloning and sequence analysis of a protective M-like protein gene from Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus
1 Apr 1995
Abstract excerpt
Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus, a Lancefield group C streptococcus, is a frequently isolated opportunist pathogen from a variety of animal hosts, including the horse. Previous studies have indicated that equine strains carry antigens with characteristics of the antiphagocytic M proteins on the Lancefield groups A and G streptococci. We have cloned a protective M-like protein gene (SzPW60) of an equine...
