In recent years,Staphylococcus epidermidis has become a major nosocomial pathogen and the most common cause of intravascular catheter-related bacteremia, which can increase morbidity and mortality and significantly affect patient recovery. We report a draft genome sequence ofStaphylococcus epidermidis AU12-03, isolated from an intravascular catheter tip.
