Evolutionary processes driving the rise and fall of Staphylococcus aureus ST239, a dominant hybrid pathogen

Selection plays a key role in the spread of antibiotic resistance, but the evolutionary drivers of clinically important resistant strains remain poorly understood. Here, we use genomic analyses and competition experiments to study Staphylococcus aureus ST239, a prominent MRSA strain that is thought...
