DNA extraction is crucial for conducting experiments such as whole-genome sequencing and demands methods that are reproducible and cost-effective. Lysing Staphylococcus aureus cells is particularly challenging due to its peptidoglycan layer resistant to common treatments. Traditional methods involve costly enzymatic lysis with lysostaphin. Here, we developed a novel approach utilizing liquid nitrogen and mechanical disruption in a mortar for lysis. DNA from S. aureus USA300 and clinical isolates was purified using phenol-chloroform extraction followed by precipitation. The integrity and purity of the DNA were confirmed, obtaining suitable concentration and purity for various molecular biology techniques. The quality of the employed DNA was validated by amplifying fragments of different genes using PCR. This method circumvents lysostaphin, yielding DNA suitable for use in other techniques.
