Complete Genome Sequence of Streptococcus agalactiae Serotype III, Multilocus Sequence Type 335 Strain HU-GS5823, Isolated from a Human Patient in Japan with Severe Invasive Infection.

Streptococcus agalactiae is an important causal pathogen of neonatal and obstetric sepsis, and it may be involved in invasive infection in immunocompromised and elderly individuals. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of Streptococcus agalactiae serotype III strain HU-GS5823, which was isolated from a patient in Japan with an invasive infection.
