TL;DR
This paper presents the whole-genome sequences of two Staphylococcus haemolyticus isolates, revealing antibiotic resistance genes and prophage elements important for understanding their virulence and drug resistance.
Contribution
The study provides new whole-genome sequences of clinical S. haemolyticus isolates, highlighting resistance genes and prophage elements.
Findings
The genomes of isolates NGCE 403 and FSCC13 were sequenced, revealing 2,533 and 2,586 genes respectively.
The genomes contain antibiotic resistance genes and prophage elements that may contribute to virulence and resistance.
Abstract
Staphylococcus haemolyticus is an emerging, multidrug-resistant pathogen associated with healthcare infections. We report the whole-genome sequences of two human isolates, NGCE 403 (2.6 Mb, 33% GC content, 2,533 genes) and FSCC13 (2.6 Mb, 32.5% GC content, 2,586 genes), which provide insights into their virulence and resistance mechanisms.
Genes, proteins, chemicals, diseases, species, mutations and cell lines named across the full text — each resolved to its canonical identifier and authoritative record.
