Abstract
ABSTRACTThe complete genome sequence of Macrococcus canis strain 19/EPI0118, isolated from a veterinary clinic environment in Switzerland, was determined using hybrid assembly of Oxford Nanopore and Illumina reads. 19/EPI0118 harbored the methicillin resistance genes mecB and mecD on a staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec element and a Macrococcus chromosomal resistance island, respectively.
Highlights
Macrococcus canis is a Gram-positive bacterium which has been found on the skin of healthy dogs and in infection sites [1, 2]
The mecB gene was found on a pseudo (W) staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) (WSCCmecB19/EPI0118) integrated at the 39 end of the chromosomal
The fusidic acid resistance gene fusC was found at the 39 end of WSCCmecB19/EPI0118 (Fig. 1A)
Summary
Macrococcus canis is a Gram-positive bacterium which has been found on the skin of healthy dogs and in infection sites [1, 2]. The complete genome of 19/EPI0118 contained a circular chromosome of 2,359,135 bp and four small circular plasmids (3,561, 2,426, 1,888, and 1,436 bp) with a GC content of 36.5%. A total of 2,362 protein-coding sequences and 78 RNAs, including 58 tRNAs and 5 16S-23S rRNA clusters, were predicted.
