Comparative genomics and in silico virulence assessment of nonpathogenic Avibacterium paragallinarum isolates from healthy layer chickens
It is hypothesized that defects or changes in HMTp210 adhesin, capsule, the nitric oxide dioxygenase system, or FtsZ contribute to the nonpathogenic phenotype of npAP in chickens, and defining and understanding the role of these potential virulence factors, may open new avenues for the development of modified live vacc...
