Study isolates Staphylococcus aureus and analyzes its genome in a clinical setting, suggesting potential virulence factors.
In this study, we isolated Staphylococcus aureus (SA8-IRQ) from a patient suffering from an inflamed wound at Al-Kadhimiya Hospital in Baghdad. The whole genome of the bacteria was sequenced and analyzed. It is 2.8 Mb in size, has 32.7% GC content, and contains several virulence and antimicrobial genes.
