Complete Genome Sequence of Staphylococcus epidermidis ATCC 12228 Chromosome and Plasmids Generated by Long-Read Sequencing

Staphylococcus epidermidis ATCC 12228 was sequenced using a long-read method to generate a complete genome sequence, including some plasmid sequences. Some differences from the previously generated short-read sequence of this nonpathogenic and non-biofilm-forming strain were noted. The assembly size was 2,570,371 bp with a total G+C% content of 32.08%
