Table 2_First fatal human bloodstream infection caused by Macrococcus caseolyticus subsp.

A clinical case report and genomic analysis of a fatal human bloodstream infection caused by Macrococcus caseolyticus subsp. caseolyticus. The data includes whole-genome sequencing results, antimicrobial susceptibility testing, and biofilm-forming capacity for the clinical isolate WH712. The dataset was authored by Lifeng Shi and last updated on June 1, 2026.

Use Cases

• Comparative genomic analysis of virulence genes based on the identified homologs of bopD, ami, srtE, and pfbA.
• Studying antimicrobial resistance mechanisms based on the intermediate resistance to clindamycin and associated vgaB, macB, and sdrM homologs.
• Investigating biofilm-forming capacity in clinical isolates based on the phenotypic testing results comparing WH712 to Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213.

Strengths

• Dataset includes both genomic sequencing data and phenotypic test results for a single, well-characterized clinical isolate.
• The description provides specific details on the identified virulence and resistance gene homologs and the strong biofilm-forming phenotype.
• Data is licensed under CC-BY-4.0, allowing for open sharing and reuse.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small at 22.3 KB, containing a single case report rather than a large collection of samples.
• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, limiting assessment of data structure.
• The primary data file is a DOCX document, which may require parsing to extract structured data.
