Complete Genome Sequence of<i>Macrococcus caseolyticus</i>Strain JSCS5402, Reflecting the Ancestral Genome of the Human-Pathogenic Staphylococci
13 Dec 2008
Abstract excerpt
We isolated the methicillin-resistant Macrococcus caseolyticus strain JCSC5402 from animal meat in a supermarket and determined its whole-genome nucleotide sequence. This is the first report on the genome analysis of a macrococcal species that is evolutionarily closely related to the human pathogens Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus anthracis. The essential biological pathways of M. caseolyticus are similar to...
