Abstract

Oligella urethralis are opportunistic pathogens typically associated with genitourinary infections. Here, we report the complete genome for an Oligella urethralis isolate recovered from ear discharge of a child with chronic suppurative otitis media (strain MSHR-50412PR). The genome comprises 2.58 Mb, with 2,448 coding sequences and 46.26% average GC content.

Keywords: CSOM; Oligella; genome; otitis media.
