Arginine Catabolic Mobile Element in Evolution and Pathogenicity of the Community-Associated Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Strain USA300
18 Feb 2020
Abstract excerpt
USA300 is a predominant community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strain which carries an arginine catabolic mobile element (ACME). ACME contains potential virulence factors including an arginine deiminase (arc) pathway and an oligopeptide permease (opp-3) system, which are proposed to play a role in bacterial virulence and transmission. However, the role of ACME in evolution and...
