Patterns of sequence conservation in the S-Layer proteins and related sequences in Clostridium difficile.

abstract：:Containment strategies for outbreaks of invasive Neisseria meningitidis disease are informed by serogroup assays that characterize the polysaccharide capsule. We sought to uncover the genomic basis of conflicting serogroup assay results for an isolate (M16917) from a patient with acute meningococcal disease. To this e...
