Genetic variation among hospital isolates of methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus: evidence for horizontal transfer of virulence genes.

Journal of clinical microbiology - 1 Aug 2001

Moore P C, Lindsay J A

Abstract excerpt

Staphylococcus aureus strains often carry in their genomes virulence genes that are not found in all strains and that may be carried on discrete genetic elements. Strains also differ in that they carry one of four classes of an accessory gene regulator (agr) locus, an operon that regulates virulence factor expression and that has been proposed to be a therapeutic target. To look at their distribution among...
