Draft Genome Sequences of Vancomycin-Intermediate Staphylococcus aureus Strains in South Korea

ABSTRACT We report here the draft genome sequences of four vancomycin-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus (VISA) strains from South Korean hospitals participating in a nationwide laboratory surveillance program for vancomycin-intermediate and vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. All strains harbor mutations in the walKR , graSR , and/or rpoB genes that are known frequently mutated determinants of VISA.
