Y1 - 2017 N1 - T2 - Harrison's Infectious Diseases, 3e AB - Staphylococcus aureus, the most virulent of the many staphylococcal species, has demonstrated its versatility by remaining a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide despite the availability of numerous effective antistaphylococcal antibiotics.
