HIGHLIGHTS
SUMMARY
By whole-genome sequencing, the authors discovered that 60% of the F. alocis strains encode a novel repeats-in-toxins (RTX) protein family member, which the authors designated as FtxA. Several of the virulence factors and/or putative virulence-related proteins of F. alocis, including FtxA, are contained within extracellular vesicles released by this organism. To whole-genome sequencing, protein variations in the presence and expression levels among F. alocis strains can be expected. Earlier proteomic work identified protein differences (i.e., in cell-wall anchoring proteins) among 2 of 13 two F. alocis . . .
