The mutational landscape of <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> during colonisation
2023-12-08
Abstract excerpt
Staphylococcus aureus is an important human pathogen but is primarily a commensal of the human nose and skin. Survival during colonisation is likely one of the major drivers of S. aureus evolution. Here we use a genome-wide mutation enrichment approach to analyse a genomic dataset of 3,060 S. aureus isolates from 791 individuals to show that despite limited within-host genetic diversity, an excess of protein-alt...
