Draft Genome Sequence of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis Strain ET-024, Isolated from an Endotracheal Tube Biofilm of a Mechanically Ventilated Patient
نویسندگان
چکیده
Staphylococcus epidermidis strain ET-024 was isolated from a biofilm on an endotracheal tube of a mechanically ventilated patient. This strain is resistant to methicillin, and the draft genome sequence shares some characteristics with other nosocomial S. epidermidis strains (such as S. epidermidis RP62A).
