title: Whole-genome shotgun sequencing of a colonizing multilocus sequence type 17 Streptococcus agalactiae strain.
abstract: This report highlights the whole-genome shotgun draft sequence for a Streptococcus agalactiae strain representing multilocus sequence type (ST) 17, isolated from a colonized woman at 8 weeks postpartum. This sequence represents an important addition to the published genomes and will promote comparative genomic studies of S. agalactiae recovered from diverse sources.
