Comparative Genomic Analyses Reveal Potential Factors Responsible for the ST6 Oxacillin-Resistant Staphylococcus lugdunensis Endemic in a Hospital
25 Nov 2021
Abstract excerpt
Oxacillin-resistant Staphylococcus lugdunensis (ORSL) is considered a life-threatening isolate in healthcare settings. Among ORSL clones, ST6-SCCmec II strains are associated with an endemic spread in hospitals. We analyzed the complete genome of ORSL CGMH-SL118, a representative strain. Results revealed that this strain contained three MGEs (two prophages and one plasmid) other than the SCCmec II element, which...
