Abstract
ABSTRACTA Gram-negative rod from theYersiniagenus was isolated from a clinical case of yersiniosis in the United Kingdom. Long read sequencing data from an Oxford Nanopore Technology (ONT) MinION in conjunction with Illumina HiSeq reads were used to generate a finished quality genome of this strain. Overall Genome Related Index (OGRI) of the strain was used to determine that it was a novel species withinYersinia, despite biochemical similarities toYersinia enterocolitica. The 16S ribosomal RNA gene accessions areMN434982-MN434987and the accession number for the complete and closed chromosome isCP043727.The type strain is CFS3336T(=NCTC 14382T/ =LMGAccession under process).
