I have sequenced 4 MRSA genomes. If I want to perform pan genome analysis for them, are they enough by themselves or do I need to add more MRSA genomoes from NCBI?

Posting your entire question as the title and then repeating it in the body of the post is bad etiquette. Please edit the post and post a concise title.

Less bluntly: it depends on the question you're asking, but I can't really think of a question worth asking where only 4 genomes will satisfactorily answer it where pangenomes are concerned.
