Limited Adaptation of Staphylococcus aureus during Transition from Colonization to Invasive Infection

Limited Adaptation of Staphylococcus aureus during Transition from Colonization to Invasive Infection

ABSTRACT Staphylococcus aureus carriage is a risk factor for invasive infections. Unique genetic elements favoring the transition from colonizing to invasive phenotype have not yet been identified, and phenotypic adaptation traits are understudied. We therefore assessed phenotypic and genotypic prof...
