Here, we describe the genomic sequence of a drug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus sequence type 239 (ST239) strain, SA9, isolated from a slaughterhouse chicken carcass in South Africa, including information about its antibiotic resistome, virulome, efflux genes, clonal lineage, and mobilome. This genomic information offers vital insights for the control of drug-resistant S. aureus .
