The hypersusceptible antibiotic screening strain Staphylococcus aureus SG511-Berlin harbors multiple mutations in regulatory genes
The genetic plasticity of Staphylococcus aureus has facilitated the evolution of many virulent and drug-resistant strains.Here we present the sequence of the 2.74 Mbp genome of S.aureus SG511-Berlin, which is frequently used for antibiotic screening.Although S.aureus SG511 and the related methicillin-resistant S.aureus MRSA252 share a high similari
