Genomic evolution of Staphylococcus aureus isolates colonizing the nares and progressing to bacteremia
3 May 2018
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Nasal colonization by Staphylococcus aureus is a key risk factor for bacteremia. The objective of this study is to identify genomic modifications occurring in nasal carriage strains of S. aureus as they progress to bacteremia in a cohort of hospitalized patients. METHODS: Eight patients with S. aureus bacteremia were identified. Genomic sequences of the bloodstream isolates were compared with 57 nasal...
