Molecular epidemiological study of Staphylococcus argenteus in Northern China
This study conducted a molecular epidemiological investigation on the distribution characteristics of Staphylococcus argenteus in Northern China. The clonal lineages, antimicrobial resistance and virulence gene profiles, and phylogenetic relationship of the strains were characterized by whole-genome sequencing. This project submits the raw whole-genome sequencing data of all studied strains, providing genomic data support for the regional epidemiological research and public health prevention and control of this bacterium.
