Draft genome of an extremely drug-resistant st551 Staphylococcus pseudintermedius from an Italian dog with otitis externa

• A MDR Staphylococcus pseudintermedius strain CAM1 was characterized by WGS. S. belonged to st551. The also harboured tet K, which is extremely rare in this species. To determine the draft genome sequence and analyse genetic features of a clinical isolate according main typing schemes available, with special focus on antibiotic resistance. isolated from case otitis externa dog. Its identity pattern susceptibility were determined using an automated system. sequenced Illumina platform. MLST, SCCmec typing, resistome, mobile elements derived comparative analysis available specific databases. S . has chromosome size 2 652 610 bp. It showed wide phenotypic resistance, comprising beta-lactams, macrolides lincosamides, aminoglycosides, fluoroquinolones, tetracyclines, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. determinants underlying mechanisms all found silico genome. mec gene for methicillin resistance Vc type SCCmec. MLST By comparison database data published molecular epidemiology studies, first st551 recorded Italy and, context already pattern, it harbours K gene, prevalence
