ABSTRACT To assess the genetic factors contributing to daptomycin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus , the draft genome of a clinically derived daptomycin-nonsusceptible isolate APS211 was generated and compared to the draft sequence of its susceptible progenitor strain APS210. Four genetic differences were identified including a previously described mutation within the mprF gene.
