Disease-associated genotypes of the commensal skin bacterium Staphylococcus epidermidis

Staphylococcus epidermidis is carried asymptomatically by virtually all humans but is also a major cause of nosocomial infection. Here, the authors study 141 isolates from healthy carriage and 274 isolates from clinical infections, and identify genes and genetic elements associated with pathogenicit...

Sumario:Staphylococcus epidermidis is carried asymptomatically by virtually all humans but is also a major cause of nosocomial infection. Here, the authors study 141 isolates from healthy carriage and 274 isolates from clinical infections, and identify genes and genetic elements associated with pathogenicity.
