## TL;DR

This paper reports the draft genome of a Staphylococcus capitis strain from a healthy person's cheek swab.

## Contribution

The study provides a new draft genome sequence of S. capitis O112 from a human cheek sample.

## Key findings

- The genome of S. capitis O112 is approximately 2.5 million base pairs in size.
- The strain was isolated from a cheek swab of a healthy female individual.

## Abstract

Staphylococcus capitis is a Gram-positive bacterium that is part of the normal human flora, found in multiple anatomical sites. Here, we present the 2.5-Mbp draft genome of S. capitis O112, isolated from a cheek swab collected from a healthy female.
