Multilocus sequence type 398 (ST398) methicillin-susceptible (MSSA) has been shown to have augmented pathogenicity in humans. However, it has not been determined whether all ST398 strains are equally virulent. We present here the genome sequence of a high-virulence ST398 MSSA strain, GD487, to explore potential insights into ST398 virulence.
多位点序列类型398(ST398)的甲氧西林敏感金黄色葡萄球菌(MSSA)已被证明在人类中具有更强的致病性。然而,尚未确定所有ST398菌株的毒力是否相同。我们在此展示高毒力ST398 MSSA菌株GD487的基因组序列,以探索对ST398毒力的潜在见解。
