چکیده

Here we report the whole draft genome sequence of a methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus ST1413 strain. Determining the distribution and arrangement of various genes associated with drug resistance, toxicity, and diseases will enhance our understanding about its adaptability to thrive in different ecological niches and help in the development of effective treatments for enterotoxigenic staphylococcal infections.

Draft Genome Sequence of Strain SA_ST125_MupR of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus ST125, a Major Clone in Spain

Here, we report the draft genome sequence of a methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strain with high-level mupirocin resistance (SA_ST125_MupR), isolated from a patient with recurrent bacteremia. This strain belonged to sequence type ST125, which was responsible for more than 50% of the health care-associated infections caused by MRSA in Spain.

Draft Genome Sequences of Clinical Daptomycin-Nonsusceptible Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Strain APS211 and Its Daptomycin-Susceptible Progenitor APS210.

To assess the genetic factors contributing to daptomycin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus, the draft genome of a clinically derived daptomycin-nonsusceptible isolate APS211 was generated and compared to the draft sequence of its susceptible progenitor strain APS210. Four genetic differences were identified including a previously described mutation within the mprF gene.

Genome Sequence of a Unique t2247-ST692-III Livestock-Associated Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Strain from Chicken Carcass

We report the draft genome sequence of a novel livestock-associated t2247-ST692-III methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strain designated K12S0375, which was isolated from a chicken carcass in South Korea. The K12S0375 strain contains uncommon genes, including antimicrobial resistance genes (tetL and tetS) and leukotoxin (lukED), and the genomic distance indicates a single lineage in a ...

Draft Genome Sequence of a Mexican Community-Associated Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis Strain

We report here the first draft genome sequence of a Mexican communitarian methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis (MRSE) strain whose genome harbors a wide variety of resistance determinants. The availability of this genome will allow the study of antibiotic resistance in Mexican staphylococci from a genomic perspective.

Genome sequence of type strain of Staphylococcus aureus subsp. aureus

BACKGROUND Staphylococcus aureus is a pathogen that causes food poisoning and community-associated infection with antibiotic resistance. This species is an indigenous intestinal microbe found in infants and not found in adult intestine. The relatively small genome size and rapid evolution of antibiotic resistance genes in the species have been drawing an increasing attention in public health. T...
