Complete genome sequence of a penicillin-resistant <i>Fusobacterium necrophorum</i> subsp. <i>funduliforme isolate</i> from a tonsillitis patient
We report the complete genome sequence of a penicillin-resistant <i>Fusobacterium necrophorum</i> subsp. <i>funduliforme</i> isolate, AJ79, from a tonsillitis patient. The AJ79 genome consists of a chromosome (2,440,359 bp) and plasmid (9,887 bp), providing insights into the genetic basis of penicillin resistance in <i>F. necrophorum</i> and its implications for treating tonsillitis.
