Identification and studies of factors involved in staphylococcal virulence using genomics and proteomics.. Staphylococcus aureus

As the aim of this project, we intend to examine the correlation between genotype, phenotype (proteome and virulence) of carefully selected strains of Staphylococcus aureus, in order to identify and characterize the factors affecting the observed biological effect (the ability to effectively colonize the host and develop an infection).
