Abstract

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in microorganisms is an ongoing threat to human health across the globe. To better characterize the AMR profiles of six strains of Staphylococcus aureus , we performed a secondary analysis that consisted of the following steps: 1) download fastq files from the Sequence Read Archive, 2) perform a de novo genome assembly from the sequencing reads, 3) annotate the assembled contigs, 4) predict the presence of antimicrobial resistance genes. We predicted the presence of 75 unique genes that conferred resistance against 22 unique antimicrobial compounds.
