Abstract

Parabacteroides distasonis is an anaerobic bacterium with ambivalent health effects. P. distasonis strain GP102 was isolated from the cecum content of a morbid pregnant laboratory guinea pig (Cavia porcellus). The genome consists of one circular 5.39-Mbp chromosome with a G + C content of 44.79%.

Keywords: Parabacteroides distasonis; anaerobe; cecum; genome sequence; guinea pig; micro-aerotolerant; multi-drug resistance.
