Complete genome sequence of USA300, an epidemic clone of community-acquired meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus
Binh An Diep,Binh An Diep,Steven R. Gill,Richard F. Chang,Richard F. Chang,Tiffany HaiVan Phan,Jason H. Chen,Matthew G. Davidson,Felice Lin,Jessica Lin,Heather A. Carleton,Emmanuel F. Mongodin,George F. Sensabaugh,Francoise Perdreau-Remington +13 more
TL;DR: The most striking feature of the USA300 genome is the horizontal acquisition of a novel mobile genetic element that encodes an arginine deiminase pathway and an oligopeptide permease system that could contribute to growth and survival of USA300.
