The vrl locus is preferentially associated with virulent isolates of the ovine footrot pathogen, Dichelobacter nodosus.

The data reveal that the locus has a G+C content much higher than the rest of the D. nodosus chromosome and contains 22 open reading frames (ORFs) encoding products including a putative adenine-specific methylase, two potential DEAH ATP-dependent helicases, and two products with sequence similarity ...[more]
