Complete genome sequences of Staphylococcus aureus isolates with a novel sequence type from a patient with hospital-acquired pneumonia

Key Points

• Identified a novel sequence type ST10248 in a Staphylococcus aureus isolate from pneumonia.
• The genome sequencing revealed a 2.74 Mb chromosome with 2,658 genes involved.
• Genetic changes were noted in isolates cultured 8, 20, and 22 days after the initial sample.
• Further study of these isolates may enhance understanding of hospital-acquired infections.
