Whole genome sequencing of S. aureus strains Xen31 and Xen36

Here, we report genome sequences of the two bioluminescent S. aureus strains Xen31 and Xen36, obtained from PerkinElmer (#119242 and #119243, respectively). Xen31 was derived from the parental MRSA strain ATCC33591, a clinical strain isolated at Elmhurst Hospital in New York City. Xen36 was derived from parental strain ATCC 49525, a clinical isolate from a bacteremic patient. A copy of the modified luxABCDE operon from Photorhadbus luminescenst is integrated in the chromosome of Xen31 and in a native plasmid of Xen36.

本研究报道了两株发光性金黄色葡萄球菌（S. aureus）菌株Xen31与Xen36的全基因组序列，两菌株均获自珀金埃尔默（PerkinElmer），对应货号分别为#119242与#119243。其中Xen31衍生自亲本耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌（MRSA）菌株ATCC 33591，该菌株为纽约市埃尔姆赫斯特医院分离的临床菌株；Xen36则衍生自亲本菌株ATCC 49525，该菌株为一名菌血症患者的临床分离株。来自发光杆菌（Photorhabdus luminescens）的改造型luxABCDE操纵子的一个拷贝，分别整合至Xen31的染色体与Xen36的天然质粒中。
