AI Article Synopsis

  • The USA300 and USA600 clonal lineages are linked to serious infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus.
  • Researchers sequenced the complete genomes of two methicillin-sensitive S. aureus strains found on the healthy skin of adults in Colorado.
  • These strains show a close genetic relationship to the USA300 and USA600 lineages.

Article Abstract

The USA300 and USA600 clonal lineages are the cause of many serious Staphylococcus aureus infections. Here, we report the complete genomes of two methicillin-sensitive S. aureus strains isolated from the healthy skin of adults in Colorado, which are most phylogenetically similar to the USA300 and USA600 lineages.
