Abstract

The cell wall-cell division gene clusters in pathogenic gram-positive cocci were examined to determine it identification and characterization. The experiment identified and sequenced in two gram-positive cocci, the clusters of peptidoglycan biosynthesis and cell division genes. Results showed significant differences in the comparative sizes of div1B and ftsQ genes, and the absence of several genes.
