AI Article Synopsis
- Staphylococcus aureus sequence type 398 (ST398) was initially linked to infections in animals.
- The complete genome sequences of two ST398 strains that are methicillin-susceptible were obtained from livestock environments.
- These genome sequences help in understanding the unique characteristics of ST398, including how it interacts with hosts and the context of its outbreaks.
Article Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus sequence type 398 (ST398) was originally associated with animal infections. We announce the complete genome sequences of two ST398 methicillin-susceptible S. aureus strains from the livestock environment. These genome sequences assist in the characterization of interesting ST398 features relying on host tropism and epidemiological settings.
