Abstract

We report the genome of a Neisseria meningitidis strain (GE-156) that was isolated in Switzerland from a patient diagnosed with bacteremia. The strain belongs to a rare mixed serogroup W/Y and sequence type 11847 (clonal complex 167), as revealed by both routine laboratory examination and genomic sequencing.
