The Interface Between Antibiotic Resistance and Virulence in Staphylococcus aureus and Its Impact Upon Clinical Outcomes
24 Aug 2011
Abstract excerpt
The ability of Staphylococcus aureus to rapidly acquire antibiotic resistance in the face of antimicrobial challenge has enabled it to remain an ongoing, significant human pathogen. Mechanisms behind the evolution of resistance in S. aureus are well documented, but the effects of these phenotypes upon virulence are less clear. By exploring available clinical and experimental data, we have shown that a number of...
