<i>Staphylococcaceae</i> isolates from the reef macroalga <i>Sargassum ilicifolium</i> , found in the coastal waters of Singapore
Two strains belonging to the family <i>Staphylococcaceae</i> (SSi009 and SSi170) were isolated from <i>Sargassum ilicifolium</i>. Genome sequencing identified several antimicrobial mechanisms within both organisms' genomes, revealing their potential to act as gene reservoirs of antimicrobial resistance in the environment.
