Genome Announc. 2016 Mar 31;4(2):e00195-16. doi: 10.1128/genomeA.00195-16.

Abstract

We report here the draft genome sequence of aStreptococcus pneumoniaestrain isolated in Monterrey, Mexico, MTY1662SN214, from a man with purpura fulminans. The strain belongs to the invasive and multidrug-resistant serogroup 19A, sequence type 320 (ST320). The draft genome sequence consists of 60 large contigs, a total of 2,069,474 bp, and has a G+C content of 39.7%.
