Evolutionary blueprint for host- and niche-adaptation in Staphylococcus aureus clonal complex CC30

Evolutionary blueprint for host- and niche-adaptation in Staphylococcus aureus clonal complex CC30

Staphylococcus aureus clonal complex CC30 has caused infectious epidemics for more than 60 years, and therefore provides a model system to evaluate how evolution has influenced the disease potential of closely related strains. In previous multiple genome comparisons, phylogenetic analyses establishe...
