This study sequenced and annotated clinical MRSA isolates from hospitals in Pakistan to investigate genetic markers associated with antimicrobial resistance, virulence, and biofilm formation.
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a pathogenic bacterium responsible for difficult-to-treat staphylococcal infections due to multidrug resistance. Twelve Panton-Valentine leucocidin (PVL)-positive and multidrug-resistant clinical MRSA isolates from hospitals in Pakistan were sequenced and annotated to investigate genetic markers associated with antimicrobial resistance, virulence, and biofilm formation.
