Comparative genomics of MRSA strains from human and canine origins reveals similar virulence gene repertoire
Abstract Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an important pathogen associated with a wide variety of infections in humans. The ability of MRSA to infect companion animals has gained increasing attention in the scientific literature. In this study, 334 dogs were screened for MRSA in...
