Abstract

The secreted proteases of Staphylococcus aureus have been shown to be critical during infection. Here, we present the draft genome sequence of S. aureus TGH337, a hyper-proteolytic USA300 strain isolated from human urine.

Keywords: Staphylococcus aureus; USA300; clinical isolate; proteases.
