Draft Genome Sequence of Novel Staphylococcus epidermidis Strain EVL2000, Exhibiting Pathogenicity against Caenorhabditis elegans.

Staphylococcus epidermidis is a frequent cause of nosocomial infections occurring after the insertion of indwelling medical devices. Here, we report the 2.5-Mb draft genome of S. epidermidis strain EVL2000, which was identified during an examination of nematode susceptibility to microbial pathogens.
