CRISPR-Cas Systems Features and the Gene-Reservoir Role of Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci.

abstract：:Infectious agents are common companions of humans and since ancient times they follow human migration on their search for a better place to live. The study of paleomicrobiology was significantly improved in its accuracy of measurement with the constant development of better methods to detect and analyze nucleic acids....
