Genomic analysis of six new Geobacillus strains reveals highly conserved carbohydrate degradation architectures and strategies.

abstract：:Streptococcus canis is an animal pathogen which occasionally causes infections in humans. The S. canis M-like protein (SCM) encoded by the scm gene, is its best characterized virulence factor but previous studies suggested it could be absent in a substantial fraction of isolates. We studied the distribution and variab...
