Draft genome sequence data of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, strain 4233

Staphylococcus aureus is a conditionally pathogenic microorganism and one of the main causative agents of antibiotic resistant nosocomial infections. In immunocompromised people, S. aureus in-fection can cause folliculitis, furuncles, impetigo, osteomyelitis, septic arthritis, sepsis, endocarditis, pneumonia and meningitis. In the presented work, sequencing of a methicillin-resistant S. aureus, strain 4233, was performed on the Illumina MiSeq platform, followed by bioinformatics processing and gene annotation using SPAdes, RAST and CARD programs and databases. The submitted genome is a total of 2,790,390 bp long and contains 2,759 genes, including 82 RNA genes. 33% of the genes are functionally significant and represent 25 functional groups. Fourteen genes encoding resistance factors to 14 different types of antibacterial drugs were predicted. The information provided on the genome of S. aureus, strain 4233 will be of value in investigating the evolution and formation of antibiotic-resistant forms of S. aureus.
