Pathogenicity Islands and Their Role in Staphylococcal Biology
31 May 2019
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT Pathogenicity islands are members of a vast collection of genomic islands that encode important virulence, antibiotic resistance and other accessory functions and have a critical role in bacterial gene transfer.Staphylococcus aureusis host to a large family of such islands, known as SaPIs, which encode super antigen and other virulence determinants, are mobilized by helper phages and transferred at...
