Horizontal gene transfer in the evolution of group A streptococcal emm-like genes: gene mosaics and variation in Vir regulons.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Jan 1994

Whatmore A M, Kehoe M A

Abstract excerpt

Most M type 5 group A streptococcal strains were found to contain a single emm-like gene between virR and scpA (the Vir regulon), but two distinct emm-like genes were identified in the Vir regulon of the M5 strain NCTC8193. The complete sequences of both of these genes were determined. One, calle...
