The <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> CC398 Lineage: An Evolution Driven by the Acquisition of Prophages and Other Mobile Genetic Elements

Among clinically relevant lineages of <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>, the lineage or clonal complex 398 (CC398) is of particular interest. Strains from this lineage were only described as livestock colonizers until 2007. Progressively, cases of infection were reported in humans in contact...

description Among clinically relevant lineages of <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>, the lineage or clonal complex 398 (CC398) is of particular interest.
