Abstract excerpt
CRISPR-Cas is an adaptive immune system that allows bacteria to inactivate mobile genetic elements. Approximately 50% of bacteria harbor CRISPR- cas , however in the human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus , CRISPR- cas loci are less common and often studied in heterologous systems. We analyzed the prevalence of CRISPR- cas in genomes of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolated in Denmark. Onl...
