Draft genome sequence of a methicillin-resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> strain isolated from a chronic wound
We report the draft genome sequence and antimicrobial resistance gene profile of a methicillin-resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> (MRSA) clinical isolate recovered from a chronic pressure injury wound infection of an adult female patient. The draft genome sequence included a 2.86-Mb chromosome, which was accompanied by a 27-kb plasmid containing <i>blaZ</i>.
