Genome sequencing reveals uropathogenic and commensal staphylococcus species in asymptomatic females, suggesting ecological diversity.
The female urinary tract is host to several different Staphylococcus species, both uropathogens and commensals. To further investigate these species, we sequenced the genomes of four isolates from voided urine samples collected from asymptomatic (“healthy”) females: Staphylococcus aureus U215, Staphylococcus haemolyticus U117, and Staphylococcus hominis strains U224 and U226.
