Abstract
While Lactobacillus crispatus contributes to the stability of normal vaginal microbiota, its role in urinary health remains unclear. As part of an on-going attempt to characterize the female urinary microbiota, we report the genome sequence of an L. crispatus strain isolated from a woman displaying no lower urinary tract symptoms.

Summary
While Lactobacillus crispatus contributes to the stability of normal vaginal microbiota, its role in urinary health remains unclear. As part of an attempt to characterize the newly discovered female urinary microbiota [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8], we report the genome sequence and annotation of a strain of Lactobacillus crispatus isolated from the bladder of an adult female. This is the first genome report of a urinary isolate of L. crispatus, a species associated with bladder health [8]. Using the expanded spectrum version [9] of the enhanced quantitative urine culture protocol [2], L. crispatus strain C037 was isolated from a healthy female not displaying any urinary symptoms.
