Abstract

Lactobacillus jensenii, a protective bacterium in the vaginal microbiota, is also a member of the female urinary tract community. Here, we report 11 genome sequences of L. jensenii strains isolated from catheterized urine from women. This effort greatly increases our knowledge of the genetic diversity of this species within the bladder.
