Abstract
ABSTRACTStaphylococcus aureus EDCC 5055 (DSM 28763) is a human clinical wound isolate intensively used to study implant-associated infections in rabbit and rat infection models. Here, we report its complete genome sequence (2,794,437 bp) along with that of one plasmid (27,437 bp). This strain belongs to sequence type 8 and contains a mecA gene.
Highlights
Staphylococcus aureus EDCC 5055 (DSM 28763) is a human clinical wound isolate intensively used to study implant-associated infections in rabbit and rat infection models
S. aureus becomes an opportunistic pathogen when the host defense system is weakened, and it is considered a major nosocomial pathogen involved in soft skin infections, causing severe diseases comprising sepsis, endocarditis, toxic shock syndrome, and osteomyelitis [1]
The clinical use of antibiotics for treatment of S. aureus infections has resulted in a rise in strains with antimicrobial resistance [2]
Summary
Staphylococcus aureus EDCC 5055 (DSM 28763) is a human clinical wound isolate intensively used to study implant-associated infections in rabbit and rat infection models. The clinical use of antibiotics for treatment of S. aureus infections has resulted in a rise in strains with antimicrobial resistance [2]. S. aureus EDCC 5055 (Eugen Domann Culture Collection number 5055) deposited in German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures (DSM number 28763) was isolated from a human wound infection in 1995 and has been used as a model pathogen to study implant-associated infections [3,4,5,6,7,8].
