<i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> Pathogenicity in Cystic Fibrosis Patients—Results from an Observational Prospective Multicenter Study Concerning Virulence Genes, Phylogeny, and Gene Plasticity

<i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> Pathogenicity in Cystic Fibrosis Patients—Results from an Observational Prospective Multicenter Study Concerning Virulence Genes, Phylogeny, and Gene Plasticity

<i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> and cystic fibrosis (CF) are closely interlinked. To date, however, the impact of <i>S. aureus</i> culture in CF airways on lung function and disease progression has only been elucidated to a limited degree. This analysis aims to identify bacteria...
