Comparative genome analysis of 24 bovine-associated Staphylococcus isolates with special focus on the putative virulence genes

Non-aureus staphylococci (NAS) are most commonly isolated from subclinical mastitis. Different NAS species may, however, have diverse effects on the inflammatory response in the udder. We determined the genome sequences of 20 staphylococcal isolates from clinical or subclinical bovine mastitis, belo...
