Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus is a major causative agent of mastitis in dairy cows. The pathogenicity of S. aureus may vary; it is able to cause severe clinical mastitis, but most often it is associated with chronic subclinical mastitis. Here, we present the genome assemblies of four S. aureus strains from bovine mastitis.

Staphylococcus aureus is a major causative agent of mastitis in dairy cows
S. aureus strains 9, 75, 110, and 112 used in this study were isolated from mastitic milk samples of four cows on four commercial dairy herds during veterinary practice at the Ambulatory Clinic of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Helsinki, Finland
The remaining intergenic regions were reanalyzed for missed Coding sequences (CDSs) by using BLASTx [6]
Summary
Staphylococcus aureus is a major causative agent of mastitis in dairy cows. The pathogenicity of S. aureus may vary; it is able to cause severe clinical mastitis, but most often it is associated with chronic subclinical mastitis. It causes mastitis with symptoms that may vary from subclinical to severe clinical. S. aureus mastitis causes a moderate to strong increase in milk somatic cell count and impairs milk quality [2].
