Genomic insights on DNase production in <i>Streptococcus agalactiae</i> ST17 and ST19 strains

2020-12-09

Abstract excerpt

Streptococcus agalactiae evasion from the human defense mechanisms has been linked to the production of DNases. These were proposed to contribute to the hypervirulence of S. agalactiae ST17/capsular-type III strains, mostly associated with neonatal meningitis. We performed a comparative genomic analysis between ST17 and ST19 human strains with different cell tropism and distinct DNase production phenotypes. All...
