Genome sequence of Staphylococcus aureus Newbould 305, a strain associated with mild bovine mastitis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Staphylococcus aureus is a major etiological agent of mastitis in ruminants. We report here the genome sequence of bovine strain Newbould 305, isolated in the 1950s in a case of bovine mastitis and now used as a model strain able to reproducibly induce chronic mastitis in cows.

Fine-tuned characterization of Staphylococcus aureus Newbould 305, a strain associated with mild and chronic mastitis in bovines
S. aureus is a major aetiological agent of ruminant mastitis worldwide. The chronic nature of S. aureus mastitis makes it difficult to cure and prone to resurgence. In order to identify the bacterial factors involved in this chronicity, Newbould 305 (N305), a strain that can reproducibly induce mild and chronic mastitis in an experimental setting, was characterized in depth. We employed genomic...
متن کاملAntibody and cell-mediated immune responses to Staphylococcus aureus small colony variants and their parental strains associated with bovine mastitis.
Persistence of bovine Staphylococcus aureus mastitis may be associated with the small colony variant (SCV) form that is adapted to intracellular life and resists elimination by the immune system. This study evaluated antibody-mediated (AMIR) and cell-mediated immune responses (CMIR) to two bovine SCV forms and their parent strains isolated from cows with mastitis. Four groups of healthy cows, f...
متن کاملHorizontal Gene Transfers Link a Human MRSA Pathogen to Contagious Bovine Mastitis Bacteria
BACKGROUND Acquisition of virulence factors and antibiotic resistance by many clinically important bacteria can be traced to horizontal gene transfer (HGT) between related or evolutionarily distant microflora. Comparative genomic analysis has become an important tool for identifying HGT DNA in emerging pathogens. We have adapted the multi-genome alignment tool EvoPrinter to facilitate discovery...
متن کاملGenome sequence survey identifies unique sequences and key virulence genes with unusual rates of amino Acid substitution in bovine Staphylococcus aureus.
Staphylococcus aureus is a major cause of mastitis in bovine and other ruminant species. We here present the results of a comparative genomic analysis between a bovine mastitis-associated clone, RF122, and the recently sequenced human-associated clones, Mu50 and N315, of Staphylococcus aureus. A shotgun sequence survey of approximately 10% of the RF122 genome identified numerous unique sequence...
متن کاملGenome Sequences of Four Staphylococcus aureus Strains Isolated from Bovine Mastitis
Staphylococcus aureus is a major causative agent of mastitis in dairy cows. The pathogenicity of S. aureus may vary; it is able to cause severe clinical mastitis, but most often it is associated with chronic subclinical mastitis. Here, we present the genome assemblies of four S. aureus strains from bovine mastitis.
