Staphylococcus aureus osteoarticular infections, in particular those associated with the presence of implant, relapse in 20% of cases. Currently, the reasons for these relapses are poorly understood, whether on the microbiological or clinical side. The aim of this study is to improve knowledge on persistence of mechanisms of S. aureus
