View full abstract and other project information on NIH RePORTER Go To NIH RePORTER Excerpt: Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is a ubiquitous gram-positive pathogen that is one of the most frequent causes of skin and soft tissue infections. Frequently, these infections serve as a prelude to invasive life-threatening diseases. The prevalence of severe S. aureus infections have increased in healthy populations, associated with the development of both drug resistance and hypervirulence in methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) strains such USA 300. The spread of MRSA-induced dise... |
