Background Staphylococcus aureus USA300.USA300, a methicillin resistant strain of Staphylococcus aureus, has been implicated in epidemiologically unassociated outbreaks of skin and soft tissue infections among healthy individuals in at least 21 U.S. states, Canada and Europe. USA300 is also noted for its strong association with unusually invasive disease, including severe septicemia, necrotizing pneumonia and necrotizing fasciitis.Staphylococcus aureus USA300_TCH1516. This strain will be used for comparative analysis with other S. aureus species. (NCBI BioProject: bp_list[1])
