Complete Genome Sequence Of Streptococcus Mitis Strain Svgs_061 Isolated From A Neutropenic Patient With Viridans Group Streptococcal Shock Syndrome

Streptococcus mitis frequently causes invasive infections in neutropenic cancer patients, with a subset of patients developing viridans group streptococcal (VGS) shock syndrome. We report here the first complete genome sequence of S. mitis strain SVGS_061, which caused VGS shock syndrome, to help elucidate the pathogenesis of severe VGS infection.
