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 genome-based phylogenetic tree compared with 459 S. aureus genome sequences. This genome sequence will contribute to understanding epidemiological and genomic features of the ST692 lineage, including antimicrobial resistance and virulence genes.

ABSTRACT Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (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.

ABSTRACT USA100 strains are significant contributors to the overall burden of health care-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections. Strain 209 is a representative MRSA isolate that serves as a model organism for agr type II studies and USA100 virulence assessments. We present a draft genome sequence of this strain.

The hospital-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (HA-MRSA) strain WCUH29 has been intensively and widely used as a model system for identification and evaluation of novel antibacterial targets and pathogenicity. In this announcement, we report the complete genome sequence of HA-MRSA WCUH29 (NCIMB 40771).
