Abstract:
Here, we report the draft genome sequences of eight community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains that were resistant to cefoxitin, ampicillin, and erythromycin. Three isolates, i.e., CAR1, CAR2, and CAR8, were sequence type 8 (ST8) with staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) type IVa and were Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) positive, which has been known as a predominant clone in the United States.
