A prevalence and molecular characterization of novel pathogenic strains of Macrococcus caseolyticus isolated from external wounds of donkeys in Khartoum State -Sudan.

ABSTRACT: A pathogenic strain of Macrococcus caseolyticus (M. caseolyticus) was isolated from wounds infection during an investigation on donkeys in Khartoum State. (122) samples were collected from external wounds (head, abdomen, back and leg) during different seasons. One isolate (124B) was identified using whole-genome sequence analysis. RAST software identified 31 virulent genes of disease and defense, including methicillin-resistant genes, TatR family and ANT(4')-Ib. Plasmid rep22 was identified by PlasmidFindet-2.0 Server and a CRISPR. MILST-2.0 predicted many novel alleles. NCBI notated the genome as a novel M. caseolyticus strain (DaniaSudan). The MLST_-tree_-V1 revealed that DaniaSudan and KM0211a strains were interrelated. Strain DaniaSudan was resistant to ciprofloxaci
