Table 1_First fatal human bloodstream infection caused by Macrococcus caseolyticus subsp.

A single clinical isolate, WH712, from a fatal human bloodstream infection caused by Macrococcus caseolyticus subsp. caseolyticus in China. The dataset includes whole-genome sequencing results and phenotypic testing data for antimicrobial susceptibility and biofilm-forming capacity. Author Lifeng Shi published the data under a CC-BY-4.0 license on figshare in 2026.

Use Cases

• Comparative genomic analysis based on the presence of putative virulence gene homologs (bopD, ami, srtE, pfbA).
• Studying antimicrobial resistance profiles based on the isolate's intermediate resistance to clindamycin and associated genetic markers (vgaB, macB, sdrM).
• Investigating bacterial persistence mechanisms based on the strong biofilm-forming phenotype comparable to Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213.
• Analyzing the genomic basis for host colonization based on features suggested to be relevant to adhesion and cell-surface functions.

Strengths

• Dataset includes both whole-genome sequencing data and phenotypic test results for a single, well-characterized clinical isolate.
• The description provides specific genomic and phenotypic findings, such as identified gene homologs and intermediate resistance to clindamycin.
• Data is shared under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license, facilitating reuse.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small, consisting of data for a single bacterial isolate (671.6 KB).
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The clinical context is from a single patient case, limiting generalizability.
