RNA-seq of Streptococcus equi strains with and without csrRS SNPs. RNA-seq of Streptococcus equi strains with and without csrRS SNPs

CsrRS is a two component regulator which is known to regulate 10-18 % of the genome of the closely related Streptococcus pyogenes. We aimed to look for transcriptional differences between pairs of naturally occurring Streptococcus equi strains where one possessed a SNP in csrRS whereas the other did not. Such SNPs have not been identified in isolates from acute disease but have been identified in persistent isolates.
