Draft genome sequence of Bacillus obstructivus VT-16-70 isolated from the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of a patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Abstract

We report here the draft genome sequence of Bacillus obstructivus VT- 16-70, a novel spore-forming bacterium isolated from the lungs of a patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The genome comprised 5,220,753 bp, with 35.2% G+C content. There were 4,972 predicted protein-coding genes, including those associated with antibiotic resistance and virulence.
