Prophage acquisition by <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> contributes to the expansion of Staphylococcal immune evasion

2023-04-28

Abstract excerpt

Staphylococcus aureus colonizes 30% of the human population, but only a few clones cause severe infections. S. aureus’ virulence varies and partly depends on the presence of prophages, viral DNA embedded in the S. aureus core genome, such as hlb-converting prophage (ϕSa3int). Human-adapted S. aureus often harbours a ϕSa3int group of prophages preferentially integrated into their β-hemolysin ( hlb ) gene that e...
