Sequence characterisation and novel insights into bovine mastitis-associated Streptococcus uberis in dairy herds

Abstract Streptococcus uberis is one of the most frequent mastitis-causing pathogens isolated from dairy cows. Further understanding of S. uberis genetics may help elucidate the disease pathogenesis. We compared the genomes of S. uberis isolates cultured from dairy cows located in distinctly differe...
