Abstract

Staphylococcus capitis pulsotype NRCS-A was previously reported as a frequent cause of late-onset sepsis in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) worldwide. Here, we report the whole-genome shotgun sequences of four S. capitis pulsotype NCRS-A strains, CR03, CR04, CR05, and CR09, isolated from Belgium, Australia, the United Kingdom, and France, respectively.
