title: Whole-Genome Sequence of the Ancestral Animal-Borne ST398 Staphylococcus aureus Strain S123.
abstract: Sequence type 398 (ST398) Staphylococcus aureus was originally reported in livestock. We announce the complete genome sequence of an ST398 methicillin-susceptible S. aureus strain of animal origin, S123. The genome sequence reveals a wild-type genome that probably corresponds to an ancestral clone.
