New genetic tools in Finegoldia magna identify a conserved adhesin required for the formation of stress-tolerant aggregates
The Gram-positive obligate anaerobe Finegoldia magna is a member of the healthy human microbiota, but also acts as an opportunistic pathogen to cause persistent, biofilm-associated infections. Despite its prevalence on the human host, little is known about F. magna biology or the mechanisms underlying its clinically relevant phenotypes, partly due to the lack of genetic tools. We address this gap…
