Major families of multiresistant plasmids from geographically and epidemiologically diverse staphylococci

Major families of multiresistant plasmids from geographically and epidemiologically diverse staphylococci

Staphylococci are increasingly aggressive human pathogens suggesting that active evolution is spreading novel virulence and resistance phenotypes. Large staphylococcal plasmids commonly carry antibiotic resistances and virulence loci, but relatively few have been completely sequenced. We determined...
