Genomic insights into the virulence and salt tolerance of Staphylococcus equorum

To shed light on the genetic background behind the virulence and salt tolerance of Staphylococcus equorum , we performed comparative genome analysis of six S . equorum strains. Data on four previously published genome sequences were obtained from the NCBI database, while those on strain KM1031 displaying resistance to multiple antibiotics and strain C2014 causing haemolysis were determined in this study. Examination of the pan-genome of five of...
