Genes associated with fitness and disease severity in the pan-genome of mastitis-associated Escherichia coli
The increased fitness associated with strains possessing this gene may be due to better attachment in the MG. Overall, these results provide a much richer understanding of MAEC and suggest bacterial processes that may underlie the clinical diversity associated with mastitis and their adaptation to this unique environment.
