Genome Sequence of a Highly Virulent pvl-positive Vancomycin-intermediate-resistant Staphylococcus aureus Sequence Type 30.

Conclusion: We described for the first time the genome sequence of a VISA isolate harboring two pvl-associated genes and other virulence factors that may improve the USA1100/ST30 lineage fitness and impact its pathogenicity and spreading at Brazilian hospitals. PMID: 32655307 [PubMed]
