Insertion sequence elements associated with <i>Staphylococcus epidermidis</i> evolution in persistent orthopaedic device-related infections
2026-05-24
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Staphylococcus epidermidis is a major cause of orthopaedic device-related infections (ODRIs), which are often challenging to treat due to their extensive antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and biofilm formation. It has been hypothesised that S. epidermidis may rapidly adapt to the medical device niche, enhancing persistence, but direct evidence of within-host pathoadaptive evolution remains limit...
