Evolution of sfbI Encoding Streptococcal Fibronectin-Binding Protein I: Horizontal Genetic Transfer and Gene Mosaic Structure

Streptococcal fibronectin-binding protein is an important virulence factor involved in colonization and invasion of epithelial cells and tissues by Streptococcus pyogenes. In order to investigate the mechanisms involved in the evolution of sfbI, the sfbI genes from 54 strains were sequenced. Thirty-...
