Draft genomes of Lactobacillus delbrueckii and Klebsiella pneumoniae coexisting within a female urinary bladder

Laricca Y London et al. Microbiol Resour Announc. .

Abstract

Here, we present the draft genome sequences of Lactobacillus delbrueckii and Klebsiella pneumoniae, both isolated from the urinary bladder of an asymptomatic post-menopausal female patient with a diagnosis of recurrent urinary tract infections. These genomes will facilitate analyses of interbacterial interactions in the urinary microbiome.

Keywords: bladder commensals; recurrent urinary tract infections; urinary microbiome; urobiome.
