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

Genome Announc. 2013 Aug 8;1(4):e00588-13. doi: 10.1128/genomeA.00588-13.

Abstract

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.
