# Complete genome sequence of Staphylococcus aureus strain MD04 isolated from the foot ulcer of a patient with diabetes in rural southwestern Uganda

## TL;DR

This paper presents the full genome sequence of a Staphylococcus aureus strain from a diabetic foot ulcer in Uganda.

## Contribution

The study provides a new whole-genome sequence of S. aureus from a clinical sample in rural Uganda.

## Key findings

- The genome of S. aureus strain MD04 is 2,789,538 base pairs long with 32.5% GC content.
- The genome assembly has 98% completeness and 2.48% contamination.

## Abstract

We report the whole-genome sequence of Staphylococcus aureus strain MD04, isolated from the foot ulcer of a diabetic patient in rural southwestern Uganda. The assembled genome is 2,789,538 base pairs in length, with a GC content of 32.5%. Genome completeness is 98%, with a 2.48% contamination.
