Genome sequence of a chronic Staphylococcus aureus isolated from dairy cow that is non-responsive to antibiotic treatment

Staphylococcus aureus is a pathogen that can cause mastitis in dairy cattle. We sequenced the genome of a Staphylococcus aureus strain isolated from a chronic case of mastitis in a dairy cow. The infection with this strain of Staphylococcus aureus was not able to be cleared from the animal with treatment of antibiotics.
