title: High-Quality Draft Genome Sequence of Bifidobacterium longum E18, Isolated from a Healthy Adult.
abstract: Bifidobacteria are important gastrointestinal commensals of a number of animals, including humans, and various beneficial effects on host health have been attributed to them. Here, we announce the noncontiguous finished genome sequence of Bifidobacterium longum E18, isolated from a healthy adult, which reveals traits involved in its interaction with the host.
