Abstract

We conducted metagenomic sequencing on a stool sample collected from urban-dwelling Pipistrellus abramus and obtained a metagenome-assembled genome of Staphylococcus nepalensis. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that this strain is closely related to the one isolated from dogs, forming a distinct clade separate from the reference genome.

Keywords: Pipistrellus abramus; Staphylococcus nepalensis.
