Draft Genome Sequence of Streptococcus anginosus BVI, a New Vaginal Pathogen Candidate

Abstract

Streptococcus anginosus is a pathogen implicated in urogenital and gastroinstestinal tract infections. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of S. anginosus BVI, isolated from a bacterial vaginosis patient attending a prenatal care unit in Cali, Colombia. The genome sequence of BVI consists of 2,014,025 bp, encoding 2,008 predicted proteins.

Comparative Genomic Study of Streptococcus anginosus Reveals Distinct Group of Urinary Strains

“…Three were isolated from vaginal samples, and 10 were isolated from fecal or gut samples. Two of the vaginal isolates were from vaginal swabs from females with no clinical genitourinary symptoms ( 19 ); the other vaginal strain was isolated from vaginal fluid collected from a pregnant woman diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis ( 20 ). With regard to the fecal and gut samples, three of the genomes were metagenome-assembled genomes ( 21 – 23 ).…”
