Abstract

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a frequent agent of complicated catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs). Here, we present the improved 7.1-Mb draft genome sequence of P. aeruginosa MH19, which was isolated from a patient with an acute hospital-acquired CAUTI. It includes unique genes not represented in other P. aeruginosa genomes.
