This announcement provides the genome sequence of the biofilm-forming methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus MTR_V1 strain isolated from a ready-to-eat food sample in Bangladesh. Our assembled genome had a length of 2.8 Mb, 27 contigs, two CRISPR arrays, 38 predicted antibiotic resistance genes, and 66 predicted virulence factor genes.
Keywords: Bangladesh; CRISPR arrays; MRSA; antibiotic resistance genes; biofilm formation; ready-to-eat food; virulence factor genes; whole-genome sequencing.
