Draft genome sequence of methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus strain 06BA18369, a pathogen associated with skin and soft tissue infections in northern Saskatchewan, Canada

Abstract

Here, we announce the draft sequence of a representative methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) isolate (06BA18369) whose strain type (spa type t311) was commonly isolated from skin and soft tissue coinfections with Streptococcus pyogenes. This strain sequence provides insight into a highly successful community-associated MSSA strain type.
