Biofilm is considered an important virulence factor in nosocomial infections. Herein, we report the complete genome sequence of a variant of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, strain BMB9393, which is highly disseminated in Brazil. This strain belongs to the lineage ST239 and displays increased ability to accumulate ica-independent biofilm and to invade human epithelial cells.
生物膜被认为是医院感染中的一个重要毒力因子。在此,我们报告一株耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌变异株BMB9393的完整基因组序列,该菌株在巴西广泛传播。此菌株属于ST239谱系,具有增强的积累ica非依赖性生物膜以及侵袭人上皮细胞的能力。
