Analysis of sequences flanking the vap regions of Dichelobacter nodosus: evidence for multiple integration events, a killer system, and a new genetic element
1 Feb 1997
Abstract excerpt
Dichelobacter nodosus is the causative agent of ovine footrot. The vap regions of the D. nodosus genome may have arisen by the integration of a genetic element and may have a role in virulence. The virulent D. nodosus strain A198 has multiple copies of the vap regions. In the present study, sequences to the left and right of vap regions 1, 2 and 3 of strain A198 were analysed by Southern blotting and DNa...
