Mobile genetic elements of Staphylococcus aureus [PDF]
Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2010 Bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus are successful as commensal organisms or pathogens in part because they adapt rapidly to selective pressures imparted by the human host. Mobile genetic elements (MGEs) play a central role in this adaptation process and are a means to transfer genetic information (DNA) among and within bacterial species ...
