title: Draft genome sequence ofStaphylococcus hominisstrain Hudgins isolated from human skin implicates metabolic versatility and several virulence determinants.
abstract: Staphylococcus hominisis a predominant member of the human skin microbiome. We here report on the genomic analysis ofStaphylococcus hominisstrain Hudgins that was isolated from the wrist area of human skin. The partial genome assembly ofS. hominisHudgins consists of 2,211,863 bp of DNA with 2174 protein-coding genes and 90 RNA genes. Based on the genomic analysis of KEGG pathways, the organism is expected to be a versatile heterotroph potentially capable of hydrolyzing the sugars glucose, fructose, mannose, and the amino acids alanine, aspartate, glutamate, glycine, threonine, cysteine, methionine, valine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, arginine, phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan for energy production through aerobic respiration, with occasional lactate and acetate fermentation. Evidence for poly-gamma glutamate capsule and type IV Com system pili were identified in the genome. Based on COG analysis, the genome ofS. hominisHudgins clusters away from the previously publishedS. hominisgenome ZBW5.
