Description
Summary:" The Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus is considered one of the most prominent pathogens worldwide, presenting a global health concern. Particularly, the multi-drug resistant methicillin- resistant S. aureus (MRSA) is well known for causing nosocomial infections, as well as across the community. S. aureus capacity to survive antibiotic treatment, which makes MRSA infections very difficult to treat, prompts the need for further studies of its biology, so that new approaches for treatment can be devised.
