Abstract

Clostridium septicum is an anaerobic Gram-positive rod-shaped bacterial pathogen known as a lethal causative agent of progressive gas gangrene in animals and humans. We report the 3.43-Mbp genome sequence of C. septicum strain WW106, isolated from influent wastewater at a research center with multiple-species laboratory animal facilities.

Keywords: Clostridium septicum; gangrene; genome sequence; wastewater.
