Functional Characterization of Type III-A CRISPR-Cas in a Clinical Human Methicillin-R Staphylococcus aureus Strain
24 Sept 2021
Abstract excerpt
CRISPR with its cas genes is an adaptive immune system that protects prokaryotes against foreign genetic elements. The type III-A CRISPR-Cas system is rarely found in Staphylococcus aureus , and little is known about its function in S. aureus . Here, we describe the genome characteristics of the clinical methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) strain TZ0912, carrying a type III-A CRISPR-Cas system. Phylogenetic...
