Evolutionary and Functional Analysis of Coagulase Positivity among the Staphylococci

The ability of some species of staphylococci to promote coagulation of plasma is a key pathogenic and diagnostic trait. Here, we provide a comprehensive analysis of the coagulase positivity of the staphylococci and its evolutionary genetic basis.
