Raising the Alarmone: Within-Host Evolution of Antibiotic-Tolerant Enterococcus faecium.

abstract：UNLABELLED:Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a global human health problem causing infections in both hospitals and the community. Companion animals, such as cats, dogs, and horses, are also frequently colonized by MRSA and can become infected. We sequenced the genomes of 46 multilocus sequence type...
