Insights into the evolution of sialic acid catabolism among bacteria

BACKGROUND: Sialic acids comprise a family of nine-carbon amino sugars that are prevalent in mucus rich environments. Sialic acids from the human host are used by a number of pathogens as an energy source. Here we explore the evolution of the genes involved in the catabolism of sialic acid. RESULTS:...
