    J Med Microbiol 53:821-32. 2004
    ..The high diversity of meningococcal carrier strains, compared with hypervirulent strains, supports the idea that transmissibility, not invasion, is essential in the life cycle of N. meningitidis...

    Department of Food Safety and Infection Biology, The Norwegian School of Veterinary Science, Oslo, Norway
    J Antimicrob Chemother 58:1254-6. 2006
    ..The aim of this study was to determine the occurrence of fusidic acid resistance, mediated by the fusB gene, among coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) isolated from bovine mastitis...
