Article Synopsis
- Black quarter is a serious bacterial disease affecting cattle and sheep, leading to high mortality rates, and a study analyzed 64 strains mainly from Europe to explore their genetic differences.
- The pangenome analysis revealed limited gene variation, with all strains possessing a CRISPR type I-B system for immunity, but homologous recombination was less frequent compared to similar pathogens, suggesting a stable genome.
- The findings indicate that outbreak strains are often related to previous local strains, highlighting the importance of understanding genetic changes at the farm level to tackle the disease effectively.
can be found in soil and the intestinal tract of animals. In 2014, was isolated from a suspected blackleg outbreak in cattle in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. We present a complete genome sequence of a strain represented by a circular chromosome and three plasmids.
