Three Accessory Gene Clusters Drive Host-Adaptation in Group B <i>Streptococcus</i>

2023-08-13

Abstract excerpt

Streptococcus agalactiae (Group B Streptococcus , GBS) is a major pathogen of humans and animals, posing a threat to human health as well as food security. Here, we investigate the role of genomic mechanisms, including homologous recombination and horizontal gene transfer, in shaping the population structure of GBS and its adaptation to three major host groups (humans, cattle, fishes). We demonstrate that the GBS...
