Abstract

Staphylococcus saprophyticus is a significant cause of urinary tract infections in younger women, but it has been understudied at the genomic level. We report genome sequences of six S. saprophyticus isolates obtained from female patients who presented with urinary tract infection symptoms at a college health center in 2019.
