Complete Genome Sequence of Invasive MLST-Untypeable Serotype 3 xpt-Deficient Streptococcus pneumoniae Strain B1900, Isolated from the Brain of an Infant Rhesus Monkey (Macaca mulatta) That Died of Meningitis.

ABSTRACT: Serotype 3 Streptococcus pneumoniae is associated with major invasive pneumococcal diseases in humans. We report the circularized 2.0-Mbp complete genome sequence of invasive serotype 3 S. pneumoniae strain B1900, untypeable by multilocus sequence typing (MLST). This strain was isolated from the brain of an infant rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta) that suddenly died of meningitis with no clinical symptoms.
