Abstract excerpt
The genetic plasticity of Staphylococcus aureus has facilitated the evolution of many virulent and drug-resistant strains. Here we present the sequence of the 2.74 Mbp genome of S. aureus SG511-Berlin, which is frequently used for antibiotic screening. Although S. aureus SG511 and the related methicillin-resistant S. aureus MRSA252 share a high similarity in their core genomes, indicated by an average nucleotide...
