## TL;DR

This paper reports the full genome sequences of six Lactobacillus iners strains from Kenyan women, contributing to understanding their role in vaginal health.

## Contribution

The study provides the first complete genome sequences of L. iners strains isolated from Kenyan women.

## Key findings

- Six complete L. iners genomes were sequenced from cervicovaginal secretions in Nairobi.
- The genomes may help clarify the role of L. iners in vaginal health and disease.

## Abstract

Lactobacillus iners is one of the most common members of the vaginal microbiome, with a controversial role in vaginal health. Here, we present the complete genome sequences of six L. iners strains isolated from cervicovaginal secretions from women in Nairobi, Kenya.
