Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Given the role of spA as a pivotal virulence factor decisive for Staphylococcus aureus ability to escape from innate and adaptive immune responses, one can consider it as an object subject to adaptive evolution and that variations in spA may uncover pathogenicity variations. RESULTS: The population genetic structure was deduced from the extracellular domains of SpA gene sequence (domains A-E and the...
