Complete genome sequence of a <i>Neisseria meningitidis</i> isolate from an ankle joint with septic arthritis
<b><i>N</i></b><i>eisseria meningitidis</i> has been identified as the causative agent of a wide variety of infections. We report the complete genome sequence of an <i>N. meningitidis</i> isolate from a joint fluid sample collected from a patient with primary meningococcal septic arthritis. This strain belongs to the sequence type 17488 of the ST-11 clonal complex, and its assembled genome consists of 2,242,622 base pairs with 51.75% GC content.
