Whole genome sequencing of Staphylococcus aureus
Staphylococcus aureus strains are from the Mastitis Pathogen Culture Collection of the Canadian Bovine Mastitis and Milk Quality Research Network (CBMQRN) (Facult de Mdecine Vtrinaire, Universit de Montral, St-Hyacinthe, QC, Canada). The isolates were collected on 91 Canadian herds in the National Cohort of Dairy Farms (NCDF) located on Atlantic Provinces, Quebec, Ontario and Western Canada for 2 years (2007 and 2008). All S. aureus isolates were from quarter milk samples with at least one colony detected in a 10-L sample (100 CFU/mL). S. aureus species were confirmed by a positive catalase test, hemolysis on blood agar plate, and positive nuclease and coagulase tests.
