Draft Genome Sequences of Three Northern German Epidemic Staphylococcus aureus (ST247) Strains Containing Multiple Copies of IS256
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report the draft genome sequences of three multiresistant Staphylococcus aureus strains of sequence type 247 (ST247). The methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) SA1450/94 is vancomycin susceptible, while the clinical MRSA isolate S. aureus SA137/93A and its spontaneous laboratory mutant SA137/93G are characterized by intermediate vancomycin susceptibility.

Contribution of a typing method based on IS256 probing of SmaI-digested cellular DNA to discrimination of European phage type 77 methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains.
The incidence of infections with phage type 77 methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains increased in France in 1987. These strains are widespread in numerous European hospitals. The SmaI restriction profiles of total DNA extracted from 74 phage type 77 MRSA strains isolated from 1987 to 1994 in 10 hospitals in eight European cities (in France, Belgium, and Spain) were analyzed...

We report the draft genome sequences of three vancomycin-susceptible methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains. S. aureus strain MV8 is a sequence type 8 (ST-8) staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec element type IV (SCCmec IV) derivative, while the other two strains (S. aureus MM25 and MM61) are ST-5 SCCmec II strains. MM61 is also closely related to the heterogeneous vancomycin-inte...
