Complete Genome Sequence of the Quality Control Strain Staphylococcus aureus subsp. <i>aureus</i> ATCC 25923

Abstract

Staphylococcus aureus subsp. aureus ATCC 25923 is commonly used as a control strain for susceptibility testing to antibiotics and as a quality control strain for commercial products. We present the completed genome sequence for the strain, consisting of the chromosome and a 27.5-kb plasmid.
