The dissemination of C10 cysteine protease genes in Bacteroides fragilis by mobile genetic elements

BACKGROUND: The C10 family of cysteine proteases includes enzymes that contribute to the virulence of bacterial pathogens, such as SpeB in Streptococcus pyogenes. The presence of homologues of cysteine protease genes in human commensal organisms has not been examined. Bacteroides fragilis is a membe...
