Distribution of virulence-associated genes in Streptococcus uberis isolated from bovine mastitis

Abstract: Streptococcus uberis is an important pathogen that has been implicated in bovine mastitis but the virulence factors associated with pathogenesis are not well understood. The aim of this work was to examine 11 putative and known virulence-associated genes by PCR in 78 S. uberis strains isolated from infected animals in Argentina. Additionally, the distribution of virulence patterns over various herds was determined. Not all genes were present in the strains but all of the detected virulence-associated genes wer… Show more

“…PFGE demonstrated a high discriminatory index (0.9889) in accordance with previous studies (DOUGLAS et al, 2000;LASAGNO et al, 2011;PHUEKTES et al, 2001;RATO et al, 2008RATO et al, , 2013. Four pulse-types found by PFGE (VI, VII-a, VIII, and IX) showed two strains with similar patterns that were classified as having identical restriction patterns (Figure 1).…”

“…According to these authors, the low frequency of this gene could be explained by the presence of other activators of plasminogen. A few studies assessed the gene skC in S. uberis, but all of these reports found its frequency to be similar to that of pauA (JOHNSEN et al, 1999, KHAN et al, 2003, REINOSO et al, 2011, SHOME et al, 2012.…”
