Abstract

ABSTRACT Legionella sainthelensi is an aquatic environmental bacterium that in humans can cause Legionnaires’ disease (LD), an often severe form of pneumonia. Here, we report the first complete genome of a L. sainthelensi clinical isolate obtained in 2001 from a patient with LD in Canterbury, New Zealand.
