Staphylococcus epidermidis strain:NGCE-2436 Genome sequencing

Staphylococcus epidermidis is a common skin commensal and opportunistic pathogen linked to device-related and respiratory infections, with rising antibiotic resistance. Strain NGCE-2436 was isolated in 2024 from the nasal swab of a patient with influenza-like illness in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Its draft genome provides insights into resistance, virulence, and epidemiology, supporting comparative genomics and public health surveillance.
