Abstract

Histophilus somni was proposed in 2003 as a common name for bacteria that earlier had been called "Haemophilus somni", "Haemophilus agni", "Haemophilus somnifer", and "Histophilus ovis". The species is clearly separated from other species and genera within the family Pasteurellaceae. The species is phenotypically variable, but highly uniform regarding the 16S rDNA sequence. Whole-genome sequencing has revealed distinct genetic differences between a commensal and a pathogenic strain, particularly in regard to putative virulence factors. However, broad generalizations regarding the genetics of H. somni cannot be applied to the entire species until the genomes of additional strains are sequenced.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 18 June 2017.
All research outputs
#14,707,467
of 22,844,985 outputs
Outputs from Current topics in microbiology and immunology
#411
of 679 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#220,979
of 400,575 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Current topics in microbiology and immunology
#23
of 58 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,844,985 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 35th percentile – i.e., 35% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 679 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.8. This one is in the 38th percentile – i.e., 38% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 400,575 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 58 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 55% of its contemporaries.
