Abstract
Lactobacilli are dominant members of the healthy female bladder microbiota. Here, we report the complete genome sequences of six Lactobacillus gasseri and three Lactobacillus paragasseri strains isolated from catheterized urine samples. These L. paragasseri genomes are the first publicly available sequences of the species from the bladder.
Highlights
Lactobacillus is a commensal bacterium in the human body and is a key component of the healthy urinary and vaginal microbiota (1)
As part of NCBI’s quality control process, average nucleotide identity is calculated (15), and three of the genomes (UMB0596, UMB1065, and UMB6975) were reclassified as strains of the species L. paragasseri
The nine bladder lactobacillus genomes were compared with those of publicly available L. gasseri and L. paragasseri strains in PATRIC
