Population Genetic Structure of the <i>Staphylococcus intermedius</i> Group: Insights into <i>agr</i> Diversification and the Emergence of Methicillin-Resistant Strains
29 Sept 2007
Abstract excerpt
The population genetic structure of the animal pathogen Staphylococcus intermedius is poorly understood. We carried out a multilocus sequence phylogenetic analysis of isolates from broad host and geographic origins to investigate inter- and intraspecies diversity. We found that isolates phenotypically identified as S. intermedius are differentiated into three closely related species, S. intermedius,...
