Effect of genetic background on the evolution of Vancomycin-Intermediate Staphylococcus aureus (VISA)
Vancomycin-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus (VISA) typically arises through accumulation of chromosomal mutations that alter cell-wall thickness and global regulatory pathways. Genome-based prediction of VISA requires understanding whether strain background influences patterns of mutation that lea...
