Abstract
Invasive pneumococcal infections are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the pediatric population. We report the draft genomes of two clinical Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates associated with severe infections in children in Qatar. The genome statistics are described, along with the strain types and serotypes predicted from the assembled genomes.

352 6359 contigs (Ͻ1,000 bp) and contaminant data were excluded after analysis using Kraken v.2 [13]
The sequence types (STs) and the antimicrobial resistance genes were predicted based on the PubMLST typing schemes in MLST and the ResFinder database [14] in ABRicate based on Ն80% coverage and 90% sequence identity
