Species-scale genomic analysis of <i>S. aureus</i> genes influencing phage host range and their relationships to virulence and antibiotic resistance genes
2021-08-24
Abstract excerpt
Phage therapy has been proposed as a possible alternative treatment for infections caused by the ubiquitous bacterial pathogen Staphylococcus aureus. However, successful phage therapy requires knowing both host and phage genetic factors influencing host range for rational cocktail formulation. To further our understanding of host range, we searched 40,000+ public S. aureus genome sequences for previously identif...
