Genomic Evolution of Staphylococcus aureus During Artificial and Natural Colonization of the Human Nose
5 Jul 2019
Abstract excerpt
Staphylococcus aureus can colonize the human vestibulum nasi for long periods of time, possibly extending into many years. It is unknown whether and, if so, how S. aureus adapts to this ecological niche during colonization. We set out to determine the short (1 and 3 months) and mid-term (36 months) genomic evolution of S. aureus in healthy natural carriers and artificially colonized healthy volunteers....
