Draft Genome Sequence of Helicobacter cinaedi, Compiled by Direct Whole-Genome Sequencing of a Blood Culture-Positive Isolate in Hong Kong.

Isolation of Helicobacter cinaedi from a positive blood culture requires prolonged and stringent subculture conditions. Direct whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of a positive blood culture may provide timely treatment-associated genetic information. Here, we report a draft genome sequence of H. cinaedi compiled by direct WGS, which was 1,995,911 bp in length with 39.1% GC content.
