Genome-Wide Identification of Antimicrobial Intrinsic Resistance Determinants in Staphylococcus aureus

Abstract excerpt

The emergence of antimicrobial resistance severely threatens our ability to treat bacterial infections. While acquired resistance has received considerable attention, relatively little is known of intrinsic resistance that allows bacteria to naturally withstand antimicrobials. Gene products that confer intrinsic resistance to antimicrobial agents may be explored for alternative antimicrobial therapies, by...
