Abstract

Clonal complex (CC) 398 community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) has emerged worldwide in a variety of livestock animals and humans. We report complete genome sequences of Panton-Valentine leucocidin (PVL) and immune evasion cluster (IEC) gene-positive CC398 MRSA strains isolated from patients in Korea.
