Whole-genome sequencing analysis of widely disseminated infection caused by ST2631 methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcusaureus.

ABSTRACT: Existing studies revealed high clonal diversity among Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia isolates, especially for methicillin-sensitive S. aureus (MSSA) strains. A 66-year-old male patient presenting with a widespread methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) infection, accompanied by concurrent carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) bloodstream infection.To evaluate the evolution of the present isolate, whole genome sequencing and bioinformatics analysis were performed for all available MSSA isolates. This patient recovered eventually through drainage and antibiotics combination. Therefore, the virulence factors of MSSA, as the primary pathogenicity, led to widely disseminated infection. The appropriate initial treatment is a major concern aft
