Complete genome sequence of a methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strain 63-2498, isolated from a diabetic foot infection

Here, we report the complete genome sequence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus 63-2498, isolated from an outpatient with a diabetic foot infection. The 2.82 Mbp genome with 2,663 predicted coding sequences was assembled using a hybrid approach combining PacBio HiFi long-read and Illumina short-read sequencing, resulting in one chromosome and three plasmids.
