Draft Genome Sequences of Two Streptococcus pneumoniae Strains Causing Invasive Infections in Children in Qatar

Abstract

Invasive pneumococcal infections are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the pediatric population. We report the draft genomes of two clinical Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates associated with severe infections in children in Qatar. ABSTRACT Invasive pneumococcal infections are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the pediatric population. We report the draft genomes of two clinical Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates associated with severe infections in children in Qatar. The genome statistics are described, along with the strain types and serotypes predicted from the assembled genomes.
