Whole genome sequence data of Staphylococcus aureus strain MD03 isolated from foot ulcer of a 56 year old female diabetes patient in a tertiary hospital in South-western Uganda
We present the whole-genome sequence data of <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> strain MD03, isolated from a diabetic foot ulcer of a 56-year-old female patient at a tertiary hospital in Southwestern Uganda. Genomic DNA was extracted and sequenced using the Illumina platform. The assembled genome is 2,747,391 base pairs in length with a GC content of 32.5 %. The dataset includes annotated genes related to antimicrobial resistance and virulence, such as dfrG, mepA, LmrS, tet (K), norA, hla, lukF-PV, fnbA, fnbB, ica, scn, and sbi. The genome sequence and accompanying metadata are available at https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/datasets/genome/GCF_046573245.1/ .This dataset is suitable for reuse in comparative genomic analyses, resistance gene mapping, and understanding genetic diversity among <i>S. aureus</i> isolates from wound infections in Sub-Saharan Africa.
