Here we report the draft genome sequence of a bloodstream isolate of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strain SA16. Strain SA16 is a sequence type 5 (ST5)-staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec type II (SCCmec II) clone and was the most prevalent isolate at a Brazilian hospital during the second half of 2009.
