Whole-Genome Sequences of Staphylococcus aureus Isolates from Cystic Fibrosis Lung Infections

Abstract

Staphylococcus aureus is an early colonizer in the lungs of individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF), but surprisingly, only a limited number of genomes from CF-associated S. aureus isolates have been sequenced. Here, we present the whole-genome sequences of 65 S. aureus isolates obtained from 50 individuals with CF.
