Abstract

The increasing emergence of multiresistant bacteria in health care settings in the community and in the environment represents a major health threat worldwide. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of a community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) USA300 isolate (W1) from a small river in southern Austria.
