Phage-mediated adaptation of Staphylococcus aureus to the avian innate immune response

2020-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Staphylococcus aureus is an important human and livestock pathogen. An S. aureus prophage (Avβ) inserted into the chromosome at the β-toxin gene (β-converting phage) is present in approximately 90% of human strains and is known to contribute to human-specific innate immune evasion. Comparative genomic analysis of S. aureus isolates from infected poultry has recently revealed an avian-specific subfamily of β-conver...
