M-protein and other intrinsic virulence factors of Streptococcus pyogenes are encoded on an ancient pathogenicity island
BACKGROUND: The increasing number of completely sequenced bacterial genomes allows comparing their architecture and genetic makeup. Such new information highlights the crucial role of lateral genetic exchanges in bacterial evolution and speciation. RESULTS: Here we analyzed the twelve sequenced geno...
