Molecular Epidemiology of Staphylococcus aureus Bacteremia: Association of Molecular Factors With the Source of Infection
25 Sept 2018
Abstract excerpt
Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (SAB) is associated with high morbidity and mortality, which varies depending on the source of infection. Nevertheless, the global molecular epidemiology of SAB and its possible association with specific virulence factors remains unclear. Using DNA microarrays, a total of 833 S. aureus strains (785 SAB and 48 colonizing strains) collected in Spain over a period of 15 years...
