Draft Genome Sequences of 14 Staphylococcus aureus Sequence Type 5 Isolates from California, USA

Year: 2017

Type: article

Abstract: ABSTRACT Staphylococcus aureus is part of the human epithelial microbiota; however, it is also a pathogen. The acquisition of mobile genetic elements plays a role in the virulence of S. aureus isolates and contributes to treatment failures. This report details the draft genome sequences of 14 clinical S. aureus isolates.
