Abstract

Staphylococcus aureus can cause mastitis in dairy cattle. We report the genome sequence of a Staphylococcus aureus strain isolated from a dairy cow with a chronic case of mastitis. The infection with this strain of Staphylococcus aureus was not cleared from the animal with antibiotic treatment.
