Abstract

Staphylococcus epidermidis is a common cause of implant-associated infections, and this is related to its ability to form biofilms. Strain-to-strain variability in biofilm formation is likely caused by genetic differences. Here, we present a draft genome of S. epidermidis AUH4567, which was isolated from a central venous catheter infection.
