Staphylococcus aureus temperate bacteriophage: carriage and horizontal gene transfer is lineage associated.

Frontiers in cellular and infection microbiology - 1 Jan 2012

McCarthy Alex J, Witney Adam A, Lindsay Jodi A

Abstract excerpt

Staphylococcus aureus is a major cause of human and animal infections. Bacteriophage are a class of mobile genetic element (MGE) that carry virulence genes and disseminate them horizontally, including Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL), the immune evasion cluster (IEC) associated with human specificity, and enterotoxin A the major toxin associated with food poisoning. S. aureus isolates group into major clonal...
