## TL;DR

This paper reports the draft genome of Lactobacillus johnsonii UMB3423, isolated from a urine sample, which is unusual for this species.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is the draft genome assembly of L. johnsonii UMB3423 from an atypical urogenital source.

## Key findings

- L. johnsonii UMB3423 was isolated from a voided urine sample.
- The draft genome sequence of this isolate is presented.

## Abstract

While the urogenital microbiota of asymptomatic females is often dominated by species of Lactobacillus, Lactobacillus johnsonii is not a common member. It is more frequently found in the gastrointestinal tract. Here, we present the draft genome sequence of L. johnsonii UMB3423, which was isolated from a voided urine sample.
