A tale of three next generation sequencing platforms: comparison of Ion Torrent, Pacific Biosciences and Illumina MiSeq sequencers (2012, methodology): “MGEs were manually identified from the S. aureus USA300_FPR3757 genome annotation SNPs called from the resulting alignment provided a high-quality reference set for comparison with the SNPs identified by each sequencing platform.”
Genetic requirements for Staphylococcus aureus abscess formation and persistence in host tissues (2009, background): “The kinetics of the appearance of infectious lesions and the morphological attributes of abscesses formed by S. aureus Newman were similar to those observed following mouse infection with S. aureus USA300 (LAC), the current epidemic community-acquired methicillin-resistant S. aureus (CA-MRSA) clone ”
Intracellular staphylococcus aureus: Live-in and let die (2012, neutral): “S. aureus strain USA300 LAC, however, is escape proficient yet does not encode a functional β-toxin due to lysogeny of a β-converting phage (Diep et al., 2006).”
