Whole genome sequencing and microarrays have revealed the population structure of Staphylococcus aureus, and identified epidemiological shifts, transmission routes, and adaptation of major clones. S. aureus genomes are highly diverse. This is partly due to a population structure of conserved lineages, each with unique combinations of genes encoding surface proteins, regulators, immune evasion and virulence...
