Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the prevalence of immune evasion (IE) genes in 86 strains of methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) collected from outpatients, highlighting the role of these genes in the pathogen's ability to evade the immune system.
- Researchers utilized polymerase chain reaction to detect IE genes and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) to analyze the clonal relatedness of the strains.
- Findings revealed that the majority of strains possessed multiple IE genes, with IEC type F being the most common, indicating a diverse genetic repertoire that allows these strains to effectively avoid host immune responses.
