Comprehensive Virulence Gene Profiling of Bovine Non-<italic toggle="yes">aureus</italic> Staphylococci Based on Whole-Genome Sequencing Data

ABSTRACT Non-aureus staphylococci (NAS) are the most frequently isolated pathogens from intramammary infection (IMI) in dairy cattle. Virulence factors (VFs) and mechanisms by which NAS cause IMI are not fully known. Herein, we analyzed the distribution of 191 VFs in 441 genomes of 25 NAS species, a...
