Staphylococcus epidermidis ST2 strains associated with bloodstream infections contain a unique mobile genetic element encoding a plasmin inhibitor

ABSTRACT Staphylococcus epidermidis, a common commensal bacterium, is a leading cause of nosocomial catheter-associated bloodstream infections. S. epidermidis sequence type 2 (ST2) is specifically recognized globally for causing invasive disease. In this study, we identified a novel putative integra...
