First Report of a Methicillin-Resistant, High-Level Mupirocin-Resistant Staphylococcus argenteus

First Report of a Methicillin-Resistant, High-Level Mupirocin-Resistant Staphylococcus argenteus

We describe the identification of a methicillin-resistant, high-level mupirocin-resistant Staphylococcus argenteus. The isolate (1801221) was characterized as t6675-ST2250-SCCmecIVc, and whole-genome sequencing revealed that the isolate possessed two plasmids. One plasmid (34,870 bp), designated p1_...
