Genetic variability in the sdrD gene in Staphylococcus aureus from healthy nasal carriers

Genetic variability in the sdrD gene in Staphylococcus aureus from healthy nasal carriers

Abstract Background Staphylococcus aureus cell wall anchored Serine Aspartate repeat containing protein D (SdrD) is a member of the microbial surface component recognising adhesive matrix molecules (MSCRAMMs). It is involved in the bacterial adhesion and virulence. However the extent of genetic vari...
