ST672 Clone: Genomic and Phenotypic Data from Invasive Paediatric Infections in Mexico

Eight Staphylococcus aureus ST672 isolates from paediatric patients at the National Institute of Paediatrics in Mexico were characterized. The data includes antimicrobial susceptibility results, whole-genome sequencing data, and virulence gene profiles for these methicillin-susceptible isolates. The dataset was authored by David Juárez-Hinojos and last updated on 2026-05-15.

Use Cases

• Comparative genomic analysis based on the presence of virulence genes like pvl and adhesins.
• Tracking antimicrobial resistance patterns based on the detection of the blaZ gene and methicillin susceptibility.
• Phylogenetic study of bacterial clones based on the inclusion of 25 public genomes for comparison.
• Investigating bacterial adaptation mechanisms based on the described reversible small colony variant (SCV) phenotype.

Strengths

• Includes whole-genome sequencing data for eight bacterial isolates.
• Contains phenotypic data on antimicrobial susceptibility and small colony variant induction.
• Provides a phylogenetic comparison with 25 publicly available genomes.

Limitations

• Dataset scale is very small at 17.9 KB, containing only eight isolates.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
