## TL;DR

This paper presents the draft genome of a gut bacterium, Agathobacter rectalis H10.1, isolated from a child with ulcerative colitis in remission.

## Contribution

The study provides a new draft genome sequence of a beneficial gut bacterium from a specific clinical context.

## Key findings

- The draft genome of A. rectalis H10.1 was successfully sequenced.
- The strain was isolated from a child with ulcerative colitis in remission.

## Abstract

Agathobacter rectalis is a beneficial gut bacterium, known to produce butyrate and thereby enhance gut health. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of A. rectalis strain H10.1 isolated from the feces of an individual with ulcerative colitis in clinical remission.
