Frequent host-switch and gene exchange shape the evolution of Staphylococcus aureus ST398

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p><italic>Staphylococcus aureus</italic> ST398 is a typical ‘One Health’ pathobiont exemplifying multiple-host tropisms. Here we traced the evolutionary trajectory of the global accessory genome (an assembly of accessory genes) of <italic>S. aureus</italic> ST398 over 20 years, with the aim of identifying the mechanisms linking accessory genomes with multiple-host tropisms and the phyloge...
