Comparative Genomics of East African Camel-Associated Staphylococcaceae spp.

Members of the Staphylococcaceae family, and particularly of the genus Staphylococcus, encompass important human and animal pathogens and especially human-derived strains are well-studied for virulence, pathogenicity as well as for drug resistance. Livestock-derived strains, especially from low-and-middle-income countries, are studied to a much lesser extent. This dataset of complete genomes from East African Camel-Associated Staphylococcaceae spp. provides new insight in the virulome and resistome across multiple species and increases the number of available strains for some poorly described species (S.muscae, S.delphini etc).
