Enterococcal cytolysin and toxin subunit restructuring #4

Closed arpcard closed 3 weeks ago

arpcard commented 4 years ago

The curation of enterococcal cytolysin genes is convoluted and incorrect. These terms are categorized as part of VIRO, but the enterococcal cytolysin operon is found on plasmids (see Coburn and Gilmore, 2003 - https://doi.org/10.1046/j.1462-5822.2003.00310.x)

From Coburn and Gilmore: "The cytolysin operon is encoded on mobile elements that occur within a subset of E. faecalis strains (Ike et al., 1987; 1990; Huycke and Gilmore, 1995; Shankar et al., 2002). "

Terms to work on:
