Complete Genome Sequence of Community-Acquired Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Strain RJ1267, Isolated in Shanghai, China

Abstract

Staphylococcal pathogens, especially multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus , are responsible for various clinical infections. Multilocus sequence type 630 (ST630) methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus has been shown to have augmented pathogenicity in humans. In this announcement, we report the complete genome sequence of community-acquired methicillin-resistant strain RJ1267 of Staphylococcus aureus ST630.
