Draft Genome Sequences of 27 Hospital-Associated Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Strains Isolated in Minnesota.

ABSTRACT: Infections caused by hospital-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (HA-MRSA) strains have higher morbidity and mortality rates and require longer hospital stays than do those caused by hospital-associated methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus strains. To gain insight into their genomic makeup, antimicrobial resistance, biofilm formation, and virulence potentials, here we present the draft whole-genome sequences of 27 HA-MRSA strains isolated in Minnesota.
