## TL;DR

This paper presents the full genome sequence of a Streptococcus pneumoniae strain that caused meningitis in an adult in Italy.

## Contribution

The study provides a complete genome sequence of an invasive S. pneumoniae serotype 11A strain isolated from a meningitis case.

## Key findings

- The genome sequence of S. pneumoniae serotype 11A strain P10_PNE_LCR was determined.
- The strain was isolated from an adult meningitis patient in Northern Italy in 2022.

## Abstract

Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major global health concern, being a common cause of meningitis in both children and adults. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of P10_PNE_LCR, a S. pneumoniae 11A strain isolated in Northern Italy from an adult patient diagnosed with meningitis.
