Phage-Mediated Immune Evasion and Transmission of Livestock-Associated Methicillin-ResistantStaphylococcus aureusin Humans
1 Nov 2020
Abstract excerpt
Livestock-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (LA-MRSA) can acquire phage-encoded immune modulators, such as the immune evasion cluster (IEC), which protects bacteria from components of the human innate immune system, and the enzyme TarP, which protects against antibody-mediated immune recognition. We used whole-genome sequencing and epidemiologic investigations to study the effects of IEC- and...
