1442. Acquisition and Transferability Mechanisms of Mercury Resistance Genes in Latin-American Staphylococcus aureus Strains

BACKGROUND: Latin-American (LA) countries are among the largest mercury (Hg) polluters in the world. Fittingly, a significant high frequency (>50%) of Hg resistance genes (MRG) has been observed in LA MRSA genomes, including USA300-LV clone, which contains the genomic element COMER, encoding for...
