Abstract

Staphylococcus massiliensis strain S46 was isolated from the surface of healthy human skin. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of S. massiliensis S46 (2,447,110 bp, with a G+C content of 36.3%).

Highlights

  • Staphylococcus massiliensis strain S46 was isolated from the surface of healthy human skin and was identified as S. massiliensis based on the rrs (16S rRNA) gene sequence identity of 100% with type strain S. massiliensis 5402776 T

  • The genome of S. massiliensis S46 was sequenced by a whole-genome shotgun sequencing strategy using 454 GS FLX, which produced a total of 157,855 reads

  • A comparison with the genome sequences available at RAST showed that Staphylococcus epidermidis strain RP62A was the closest neighbor of S. massiliensis S46

Summary

Introduction

Staphylococcus massiliensis strain S46 was isolated from the surface of healthy human skin and was identified as S. massiliensis based on the rrs (16S rRNA) gene sequence identity of 100% with type strain S. massiliensis 5402776 T. The genome sequence of strain 5402776 T was reported recently [3]. We report the draft genome sequence of S. massiliensis S46. The genomic DNA of S. massiliensis S46 was extracted from culture grown on Luria-Bertani (LB) broth.
