Genome Sequence of Staphylococcus aureus Ex1, Isolated from a Patient with Spinal Osteomyelitis

Abstract

Here, we present the genome sequence of Staphylococcus aureus Ex1, isolated in 2015 from a patient with spinal osteomyelitis at the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital in the United Kingdom. The availability of the Ex1 genome sequence provides a resource for studying the basis for spinal infection and horizontal gene transfer in S. aureus.
