Abstract

Fluoroquinolones have been extensively used in treatment or prevention of serious infections in humans and food-producing animals, especially in poultry, due to their broad-spectrum activity to both Gram-positive and -negative pathogens. However, the use of fluoroquinolones in poultry production selects for bacteria carrying genetic determinants for quinolone resistance. Here, we present the complete genome sequences of two methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains displaying quinolone resistance, which were isolated from healthy broilers in Korea.
