Functional genomics reveals extensive diversity in <i>Staphylococcus epidermidis</i> restriction modification systems compared to <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>
2019-05-22
Abstract excerpt
Staphylococcus epidermidis is a significant opportunistic pathogen of humans. Molecular studies in this species have been hampered by the presence of restriction-modification (RM) systems that limit introduction of foreign DNA. Here we establish the complete genomes and methylomes for seven clinically significant, genetically diverse S. epidermidis isolates and perform the first systematic genomic analyses of the...
