Identification of viridans group streptococci (VGS) to the species level is difficult because VGS exchange genetic material. We performed multilocus DNA target sequencing to assess phylogenetic concordance of VGS for a well-defined clinical syndrome. The hierarchy of sequence data was often discordant, underscoring the importance of establishing biological relevance for finer phylogenetic distinctions.
将草绿色链球菌(VGS)鉴定到种水平很困难,因为VGS会交换遗传物质。我们进行了多位点DNA靶标测序,以评估VGS对于一种明确的临床综合征的系统发育一致性。序列数据的层次结构常常不一致,这突出了为更精细的系统发育差异确定生物学相关性的重要性。
