Prophage-Mediated Disruption of Genetic Competence in Staphylococcus pseudintermedius

Prophage-Mediated Disruption of Genetic Competence in Staphylococcus pseudintermedius

ABSTRACT Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius (MRSP) is a major cause of soft tissue infections in dogs and occasionally infects humans. Hypervirulent multidrug-resistant (MDR) MRSP clones have emerged globally. The sequence types ST71 and ST68, the major epidemic clones of Europe a...
