Strains of Staphylococcus aureus that Colonize and Infect Skin Harbor Mutations in Metabolic Genes
26 Jul 2019
Abstract excerpt
Staphylococcus aureus is the most common cause of skin and soft tissue infections, yet the bacterial genetic changes associated with adaptation to human skin are not well characterized. S. aureus strains isolated from patients with chronic skin colonization and intermittent infection were used to determine the staphylococcal genotypes or phenotypes associated with adaptation to human skin. We demonstrate that...
