Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Our capacity to investigate the biology of the major human and animal pathogen Staphylococcus aureus has been greatly enhanced by technological advances in transposon mutagenesis. Here we provide a perspective on how these advances may be applied to further our understanding of pathogenesis and antibiotic resistance.
