Abstract excerpt
Staphylococcus lugdunensis, a coagulase-negative staphylococcus, has emerged as an opportunistic pathogen causing severe infections. It exhibits genetic diversity, with multiple sequence types, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes, and virulence factors. This study aimed to explore its genomic features and clinical implications. Six clinical isolates from Fujian, Beijing, and Wuhan were sequenced using Illumina...
