Draft genome of <i>Staphylococcus epidermidis</i> clinical isolate OGSA-Sep-145 from an implant-related spinal infection
<i>Staphylococcus epidermidis</i>, a skin commensal, is a major cause of orthopedic implant-related infections due to its biofilm-forming ability and immune evasion strategies. Here, we present the draft genome of strain OGSA-Sep-145, isolated from a spinal infection, providing insights into antimicrobial resistance and virulence mechanisms in chronic infections.
