S. aureus ST672 Genomic and Phenotypic Data from Paediatric Infections in Mexico

Mexico-based genomic and phenotypic data for eight Staphylococcus aureus ST672 isolates from invasive paediatric infections at the National Institute of Paediatrics. The dataset includes antimicrobial susceptibility results, virulence gene profiles, and phylogenetic comparisons with 25 public genomes. It was authored by David Juárez-Hinojos and last updated on 2026-05-15.

Use Cases

• Characterize antimicrobial resistance profiles based on methicillin susceptibility and blaZ gene presence.
• Analyze virulence potential based on identified adhesin genes (atl, efb, ebp, fnbA/B, sdrC/D/E, icaA/B/C/R) and toxin genes (pvl, lukSF-PV).
• Study bacterial adaptation mechanisms based on the reversible small colony variant (SCV) phenotype.
• Trace clonal lineage and geographic spread based on phylogenetic analysis comparing Mexican isolates to global genomes.

Strengths

• Includes whole-genome sequencing data for eight clinical isolates.
• Provides phenotypic data on antimicrobial susceptibility and small colony variant induction.
• Contains comparative genomic analysis with 25 publicly available genomes.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small (15.4 KB), indicating limited scope.
