Draft Genome Sequences of 50 Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Sequence Type 5 Isolates Obtained from a U.S. Hospital

Year: 2017

Type: article

Abstract: (MRSA) can be a commensal or pathogen in humans. Pathogenicity and disease are related to the acquisition of mobile genetic elements encoding virulence and antimicrobial resistance genes. Here, we report draft genome sequences for 50 clinical MRSA isolates from humans with MRSA-related disease.
