Horizontal transfer of probable chicken-pathogenicity chromosomal islands between <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> and <i>Staphylococcus agnetis</i>
2023-03-23
Abstract excerpt
Staphylococcus agnetis is an emerging pathogen in chickens but has been most commonly isolated from sub-clinical mastitis in bovines. Previous whole-genome analyses for known virulence genes failed to identify determinants for the switch from mild ductal infections in cattle to severe infections in poultry. We now report identification of a family of 15 kbp, 17-19 gene mobile genetic elements (MGEs) specific to ch...
