## TL;DR

This paper reports draft genome sequences of Lactobacillus paragasseri strains from the female urinary tract of a person with type II diabetes.

## Contribution

The study provides new draft genome data for L. paragasseri strains from a diabetic individual's urine.

## Key findings

- Three L. paragasseri strains were isolated from urine samples of a female with type II diabetes.
- Two of the strains were collected from the same individual 3 months apart.
- Draft genome assemblies of these strains are now available for further research.

## Abstract

Lactobacillus species are often associated with a healthy environment in the female urogenital tract. Here, we present the draft genome assemblies for three L. paragasseri strains isolated from voided urine samples from females with type II diabetes; two of the strains were collected from the same individual 3 months apart.
