| characterization of streptococcus equi subsp. ruminatorum isolated from spotted hyenas (crocuta crocuta) and plains zebras (equus burchelli), and identification of a m-like protein (srm) encoding gene. | thirteen strains of streptococcus equi subsp. ruminatorum from free-ranging spotted hyenas (crocuta crocuta) and plains zebras (equus burchelli) in tanzania were characterized by biochemical and molecular-biological methods. although the colony appearance of the s.e. ruminatorum wildlife strains differed from that of the s.e. ruminatorum type strain cect 5772(t), all biochemical reactions of the wildlife strains were similar to those of the type strain. in addition, all wildlife strains produced ... | 2008 | 17997053 |
