Hypermutable Staphylococcus aureus strains present at high frequency in subclinical bovine mastitis isolates are associated with the development of antibiotic resistance.

Abstract excerpt

Hypermutable bacterial strains with greatly elevated spontaneous mutation rates have been described at high frequencies in various clinically important species, particularly in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. It has been suggested that such strains can play a major role in the development of chronic respiratory infections. Nevertheless, little information is available regarding the potential association between...
