Complete genome sequence of a methicillin-resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> strain 63-2498, isolated from a diabetic foot infection
Here, we report the complete genome sequence of methicillin-resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> 63-2498, isolated from an outpatient with a diabetic foot infection. The 2.82 Mbp genome with 2,663 predicted coding sequences was assembled using a hybrid approach combining PacBio HiFi long-read and Illumina short-read sequencing, resulting in one chromosome and three plasmids.
