Micro-evolution of three Streptococcus species: selection, antigenic variation, and horizontal gene inflow

Abstract Background The genus Streptococcus comprises pathogens that strongly influence the health of humans and animals. Genome sequencing of multiple Streptococcus strains demonstrated high variability in gene content and order even in closely related strains of the same species and created a newl...
