Bacteriophages encoding human immune evasion factors adapt to livestock-associated MRSA through rounds of integration and excision

2021-04-29

Abstract excerpt

In recent years there has been an increase in human infections with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) originating from livestock and strains carrying bacterial viruses of the Sa3int-family have disseminated into the community. Sa3int phages express immune evasion factors and are common in human staphylococcal strains. As the bacterial attachment site ( attB ) for Sa3int phages is mutated in live...
