Basis of Virulence in Community-Associated Methicillin-Resistant<i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>

9 Sept 2010

Abstract excerpt

Community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) strains are causing a severe pandemic of mainly skin and soft tissue and occasionally fatal infections. The basis of their success is the combination of methicillin resistance at low fitness cost and high virulence. Investigation of the virulence potential of CA-MRSA, a key prerequisite for the development of anti-CA-MRSA therapeutics, has...
