## TL;DR

This paper presents the first complete genome of Macrococcus bovicus from a human skin infection, combining Nanopore and Illumina sequencing.

## Contribution

The study provides the first fully resolved genome of M. bovicus isolated from a human source.

## Key findings

- The genome includes a 2,082,488-bp chromosome and three plasmids.
- Phage-related sequences were identified in the genome.

## Abstract

The complete circular genome of Macrococcus bovicus LI0213 isolated from a human skin lesion was obtained using a hybrid assembly of Nanopore and Illumina reads. The genome consisting of a 2,082,488-bp chromosome and three plasmids, contains phage-related sequences and represents the first fully resolved genome of M. bovicus from human origin.
