Whole genome sequencing-based characterization of mobile genetic elements in <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> isolated from patients in Fort Portal Regional Referral Hospital, Western Uganda

2026-01-14

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> The ability of Staphylococcus aureus to evolve through horizontal gene transfer mechanisms aids its success as a versatile pathogen. Mobile genetic elements (MGEs) are linked to potent virulence factors in S. aureus, e.g., the Panton-Valentine leukocidin and toxic shock syndrome toxins, as well as antibiotic resistance genes, e.g., mecA that encodes methicillin resistance. Despite their cli...
