Complete Genome Sequences of Three of the Earliest Community-Associated Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Strains Isolated in Remote Western Australia.

ABSTRACT: Initially reported in Western Australia in the 1980s, community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) has become a major cause of S. aureus infections globally. We report the complete genome sequences of three of the earliest CA-MRSA strains isolated from remote Australian Indigenous communities in the Kimberley region of Western Australia.
