Clonal clusters of multidrug-resistant Brazilian <i>Corynebacterium striatum</i> strains reveal putative virulence traits
This study reveals a complex genomic landscape among Brazilian MDR C. striatum strains, marked by clonal dissemination alongside strain-level genetic variation in accessory genomes, mobilome composition, and virulence-associated gene repertoires, providing genomic evidence of diversification within hospital-associated lineages.
