Clinical S. aureus Isolates Vary in Their Virulence to Promote Adaptation to the Host

Clinical S. aureus Isolates Vary in Their Virulence to Promote Adaptation to the Host

Staphylococcus aureus colonizes epithelial surfaces, but it can also cause severe infections. The aim of this work was to investigate whether bacterial virulence correlates with defined types of tissue infections. For this, we collected 10–12 clinical S. aureus strains each from nasal colo...
