Complete genome sequence of Corynebacterium urealyticum strain DSM 7111, isolated from a 9-year-old patient with alkaline-encrusted cystitis

Abstract

Corynebacterium urealyticum is a common skin colonizer with potent urease activity. It is clinically recognized as an opportunistic pathogen causing urinary tract infections. The annotated genome sequence of strain DSM 7111, isolated from the urine of a young boy with an ectopic kidney, provides new insights into the pathomechanisms of this bacterium.
