Draft Genome Sequences of Vancomycin-Intermediate Staphylococcus aureus Strains in South Korea.
We report here the draft genome sequences of four vancomycin-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus (VISA) strains from South Korean hospitals participating in a nationwide laboratory surveillance program for vancomycin-intermediate and vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus All strains harbor mutations in the walKR, graSR, and/or rpoB genes that are known frequently mutated determinants of VISA.
