Phylogenetic Analysis of <i>Filifactor alocis</i> Strains Isolated from Several Oral Infections Identified a Novel RTX Toxin, FtxA

<i>Filifactor alocis</i> is a Gram-positive asaccharolytic, obligate anaerobic rod of the phylum Firmicutes, and is considered an emerging pathogen in various oral infections, including periodontitis. We here aimed to perform phylogenetic analysis of a genome-sequenced <i>F. alocis...
