Abstract
Clostridium paraputrificum is a gut microbiota member reported in several cases of bacteremia and coinfections. So far, only one genome sequence of a C. paraputrificum (AGR2156) isolate is available. Here, we present the draft genome of C. paraputrificum strain 373-A1, isolated from stools from a patient with C. difficile infection.
Highlights
Clostridium paraputrificum is a gut microbiota member reported in several cases of bacteremia and coinfections
The assembly of the draft genome sequence consists of 41 contigs amounting to 3,488,595 bp with a GϩC content of 29.8%
The genome of C. paraputrificum 373-A1 is smaller than C. paraputrificum AGR2156 (i.e., 3,488,595 bp versus 3,561,289 bp, respectively)
Summary
Clostridium paraputrificum is a gut microbiota member reported in several cases of bacteremia and coinfections. Work associated C. paraputrificum with an increased risk of colon cancer (2). C. paraputrificum contributes to colonic epithelium maturation and development (6); its role in infectious diseases remains unclear.
