Genomic analysis of Staphylococcus caprae isolated from clinical samples

Staphylococcus caprae, a coagulase-negative staphylococcus, is often overlooked in clinical settings despite its antibiotic resistance and virulence traits. This study analyzed a collection of S. caprae strains, focusing on virulence factors, biofilm formation, and antibiotic susceptibility through whole genome sequencing. The aim is to better understand its role in diabetic foot infections (DFU) and develop improved management strategies for DFU treatment.
