title: Complete Genome Sequence of Actinobaculum schaalii Strain CCUG 27420.
abstract: Complete genome sequencing of the emerging uropathogen Actinobaculum schaalii indicates that an important mechanism of its virulence is attachment pili, which allow the organism to adhere to the surface of animal cells, greatly enhancing the ability of this organism to colonize the urinary tract.
