Complete and Assembled Genome Sequence of Staphylococcus aureus RKI4, a Food-Poisoning Strain Exhibiting a Novel S. aureus Pathogenicity Island Carrying seb.

ABSTRACT: The genome of Staphylococcus aureus RKI4, a strain isolated from feces of a patient in a case of staphylococcal food poisoning, was sequenced using combined Illumina and single-molecule real-time sequencing. Hierarchical assembly of the genome resulted in a 2,725,654-bp chromosome and a 17,905-bp mobile genetic element.
