Comparative genome-scale modelling of Staphylococcus aureus strains identifies strain-specific metabolic capabilities linked to pathogenicity
Staphylococcus aureus is a preeminent bacterial pathogen capable of colonizing diverse
ecological niches within its human host. We describe here the pangenome of S. aureus based …
