Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Staphylococcus aureus is a major cause of relapsing infection. However, how its phenotypic traits change over time within individual hosts during relapsing infection remains incompletely characterized. METHODS: In this study, we analyzed five longitudinal S. aureus isolates obtained from two patients with relapsing infection to investigate within-host phenotypic and genomic changes. Whole-genome...
