Whole Genome Sequencing of <i>Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans</i> Cultured from Blood Stream Infections Reveals Three Major Phylogenetic Groups Including a Novel Lineage Expressing Serotype a Membrane O Polysaccharide

Whole Genome Sequencing of <i>Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans</i> Cultured from Blood Stream Infections Reveals Three Major Phylogenetic Groups Including a Novel Lineage Expressing Serotype a Membrane O Polysaccharide

Twenty-nine strains of <i>Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans</i> cultured from blood stream infections in Denmark were characterised. Serotyping was unremarkable, with almost equal proportions of the three major types plus a single serotype e strain. Whole genome sequencing positioned...
