Evolutionary processes driving the rise and fall of <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> ST239, a dominant hybrid pathogen

2021-01-10

Abstract excerpt

Staphylococcus aureus ST239 has been one of the most successful epidemic MRSA strains, and one of the leading causes of healthcare-associated MRSA infections. Here we investigate the evolution of ST239 using a combination of computational and experimental approaches. ST239 is thought to have emerged by a large scale chromosomal replacement event in which an ST8 clone acquired approximately 600 kb of DNA from an ST...
