Comparative analysis of prophages carried by human and animal-associated Staphylococcus aureus strains spreading across the European regions

Abstract Staphylococcus aureus is a major human and animal pathogen although the animal-associated S. aureus can be a potential risk of human zoonoses. Acquisition of phage-related genomic islands determines the S. aureus species diversity. This study characterized and compared the genome architectu...
