Abstract
We present here the draft whole-genome shotgun sequence of an uncultivated strain SNTW101 of Helicobacter suis, which has been maintained in the stomachs of mice. This strain was originally isolated from gastric biopsy specimens of a urea breath test-negative Japanese patient suffering from nodular gastritis.

The genomic DNA of H. suis SNTW101 was prepared from the mouse gastric mucosa by treatment with anti-H. pylori antibodycoated magnetic beads [5], because the infected mouse stomachs contained large quantities of endogenous Lactobacilli in addition to H. suis [6]
Summary
We present here the draft whole-genome shotgun sequence of an uncultivated strain SNTW101 of Helicobacter suis, which has been maintained in the stomachs of mice. This strain was originally isolated from gastric biopsy specimens of a urea breath testnegative Japanese patient suffering from nodular gastritis. Helicobacter suis, naturally colonizing the stomach of pigs, is the most prevalent non-H. pylori Helicobacter species in humans with gastric diseases [1,2,3,4]. We isolated H. suis strain SNTW101 from a urea breath test (UBT)-negative Japanese woman with nodular gastritis in 2008 [5].
