Abstract

Here, we report the complete genome sequence of a Swedish clinical strain of Yersinia enterocolitica, Y72. With emerging Yersinia outbreaks circulating in Nordic countries, the Y72 genome will provide more insights on the genetic relatedness and antibiotic resistance dissemination in future studies.
