Genome sequencing reveals cadmium/zinc resistance and virulence in Staphylococcus aureus, suggesting public health concerns.
We report the draft genome sequence of Staphylococcus aureus strain BHUSA01, isolated from a patient’s wound (pus) at IMS, BHU, Varanasi. The genome is approximately 2.78 Mb in size, has GC content of 32.66%, and coverage of 98.67%, and contains antibiotic resistance, virulence, biofilm-related, and cadmium/zinc resistance genes.
