Microevolution of aquatic <i>Streptococcus agalactiae</i> ST-261 from Australia indicates dissemination via imported tilapia and ongoing adaptation to marine hosts or environment
2018-04-14
Abstract excerpt
Streptococcus agalactiae (GBS) causes disease in a wide range of animals. The serotype 1b lineage is highly adapted to aquatic hosts, exhibiting substantial genome reduction compared with terrestrial con-specifics. Here we sequence genomes from 40 GBS isolates including 25 from wild fish and captive stingrays in Australia, six local veterinary or human clinical isolates, and nine isolates from farmed tilapia in Ho...
