Abstract

We report the whole-genome sequence of Staphylococcus aureus strain MD04, isolated from the foot ulcer of a diabetic patient in rural southwestern Uganda. The assembled genome is 2,789,538 base pairs in length, with a GC content of 32.5%. Genome completeness is 98%, with a 2.48% contamination.

Keywords: Illumina sequencing; Uganda; WGS; bacterial genomics; diabetic foot infection; diabetic foot ulcers; wound bacteria.
