Abstract

Staphylococci are ubiquitous colonizers of the skin and mucous membranes and Staphylococcus aureus is the most pathogenic species. The spread of antibiotic resistance among S. aureus strains is a major concern in the treatment of staphylococcal infections. Acquisition of resistance may involve mutation of a bacterial gene on the chromosome or transfer of a resistance gene from other organisms by some form of genetic exchange (conjugation, transduction, or transformation). Completion of whole genome sequences of three methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) strains has provided us a bird's-eye view of the distribution of the mobile genetic elements in the bacterial chromosome that encode antibiotic resistance as well as pathogenicity in S. aureus.
