Genome sequence of <i>Staphylococcus shinii</i> VBM19 isolated from <i>Planococcus ficus</i>
This resource announcement describes the complete genome sequence of a <i>Staphylococcus shinii</i> isolate obtained from vine mealybug (<i>Planococcus ficus</i>), an important vineyard pest insect. The <i>S. shinii</i> species was originally characterized from environmental samples and some strains are entomopathogenic. This genome sequence will facilitate further characterization for potential insect biological control.
