Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed the whole genomes of 22 strains of non-aureus staphylococci (NASM) linked to bovine mastitis from India, revealing a mean genome size of 2.55 Mbp and a GC content of 32.2%.
- Researchers identified 14 distinct sequence types among the strains, with ST1 and ST6 being specifically tied to mastitis cases, and classified the strains into five major clades based on genetic relationships.
- The study also uncovered 32 antimicrobial resistance genes and 53 virulence-associated genes, indicating possible co-evolution with hosts and suggesting the potential for horizontal gene transfer among these strains.
