# Complete genome sequence of Edwardsiella tarda strain GBS0709 isolated from a Japanese patient with the acute motor axonal neuropathy subtype of Guillain–Barré syndrome

## TL;DR

This paper reports the full genome sequence of a bacterial strain linked to a rare nerve disorder in a Japanese patient.

## Contribution

The study provides the complete genome sequence of Edwardsiella tarda strain GBS0709 associated with acute motor axonal neuropathy.

## Key findings

- The genome consists of a 3,632,068 bp circular chromosome and a 5,386 bp plasmid.
- The guanine and cytosine content of the genome is 57.3%.

## Abstract

The complete genome sequence of Edwardsiella tarda strain GBS0709, isolated from an 81-year-old Japanese patient with the acute motor axonal neuropathy subtype of Guillain–Barré syndrome, was determined. It comprised a 3,632,068 bp circular chromosome and a 5,386 bp plasmid. The overall guanine and cytosine content was 57.3%.
