Whole-genome sequencing of two clinical Staphylococcus haemolyticus isolates highlights antibiotic resistance genes and prophage elements

Key Points

Antibiotic resistance genes were identified in the clinical isolates, which poses a significant health risk.
The genomic data for NGCE 403 and FSCC13 revealed a total of 5,119 genes, highlighting diverse resistance mechanisms.
Whole-genome sequencing was used to analyze two human-derived isolates of Staphylococcus haemolyticus.
Understanding the virulence and prophage elements aids in managing healthcare-associated infections.

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.
