A Rodentibacter heylii strain lacking all known RTX toxin genes is highly virulent in C57BL/6 and BALB/c mice in contrast to Muribacter muris

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background Rodentibacter (R.) heylii and Muribacter (M.) muris are frequently detected in laboratory rodents. Repeats in toxin (RTX) toxins are considered to be important virulent factors in R. pneumotropicus and R. heylii. As many R. heylii isolates do not carry genes encoding known RTX toxins we hypothesized that these isolates are at the most moderately virulent or even avirulent as...
