Prophage-Mediated Disruption of Genetic Competence in Staphylococcus pseudintermedius

Prophage-Mediated Disruption of Genetic Competence in Staphylococcus pseudintermedius

Staphylococcus pseudintermedius is a bacterium responsible for clinically important infections in dogs and can infect humans. In this study, we performed genomic analysis of 371 S. pseudintermedius isolates to understand the evolution of antibiotic resistance and virulence in this organism. The anal...
