AI Article Synopsis

  • - Coagulase-negative staphylococci are often found in cases of subclinical bovine mastitis, a common infection in dairy cows.
  • - The study presents a draft genome sequence for Staphylococcus simulans UMC-CNS-990, which was taken from a long-term infection in a Holstein cow.
  • - Interestingly, the genome contains a cluster of genes for gas vesicle proteins, which was not anticipated in this context.

Article Abstract

Coagulase-negative staphylococci are frequently isolated from cases of subclinical bovine mastitis. Reported here is a draft genome sequence of Staphylococcus simulans UMC-CNS-990, an isolate recovered from a chronic intramammary infection of a Holstein cow. Unexpectedly, a cluster of genes encoding gas vesicle proteins was found within the 2,755-kb genome.
