Long-term intrahost evolution of methicillin resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> among cystic fibrosis patients with respiratory carriage
2019-04-04
Abstract excerpt
Staphylococcus aureus is the most commonly identified airway colonizer of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients, and infections with methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) are associated with poor outcomes. Yet, little is known about the intrahost evolution of S. aureus among CF patients. We investigated convergent evolution and adaptation of MRSA among four CF patients with long-term respiratory carriage. For each pati...
