Hybrid Assembly from a Pathogenic Methicillin- and Multidrug-Resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius Strain Isolated from a Case of Canine Otitis in Spain

Here we report the genome assembly, using a hybrid approach with Illumina and Nanopore sequencing, of a pathogenic Staphylococcus pseudintermedius strain isolated from a case of canine otitis. Genome assembly confirmed the antimicrobial resistance profile (disk diffusion testing) with specific genes and mutations.
