Prophage and SaPI diversity in local clinical <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> reveal hidden drivers of virulence

2025-08-11

Abstract excerpt

Prophages are key drivers of bacterial evolution, genomic variability, virulence, and ecological adaptation. Here, we examined the prophage diversity of 109 Staphylococcus aureus clinical isolates from four tertiary care hospitals in Mexico City, integrating comparative analyses with 993 international genomes. Prophages were detected in 97% of the local strains, mirroring the near-ubiquitous presence (99%) observ...
