PLoS ONE, 2011 Methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci (MR-CoNS) are opportunistic pathogens and serve as a large reservoir of staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec). Characterization of SCCmec in MR-CoNS can generate useful information on the mobilization and evolution of this element.Non-repetitive MR-CoNS clinical isolates (n = 84; 39 S ...

Tandem mobilization of anti-phage defenses alongside SCCmec elements in staphylococci
Nature CommunicationsRecent research has identified multiple immune systems that bacteria use to protect themselves from viral infections. However, little is known about the mechanisms by which these systems horizontally spread, especially among bacterial pathogens. Here, we investigate antiviral defenses in staphylococci, opportunistic pathogens that constitute leading ...
