Virulence Determinants in Staphylococcus aureus Clones Causing Osteomyelitis in Italy

Virulence Determinants in Staphylococcus aureus Clones Causing Osteomyelitis in Italy

Staphylococcus aureus is the most common pathogen causing osteomyelitis (OM). The aim of this study was to explore the clonal complex (CC) distribution and the pattern of virulence determinants of S. aureus isolates from OM in Italy. Whole-genome sequencing was performed on 83 S. aureus isolates fro...
