Genome wide association study of SNP-, gene-, and pathway-based approaches to identify genes influencing susceptibility to Staphylococcus aureus infections.

While no one SNP and gene was found to be highly significant in this study, we suspect that for a versatile pathogen like S. aureus , that needs to overcome barriers presented by a variety of tissues and defense systems to infect various sites in the body, there are bound to be several genes involved in host susceptibility.
