Abstract

Zoliflodacin is a promising novel antimicrobial in clinical development for treatment of gonorrhea; currently, it is in a global phase 3 randomized controlled clinical trial. High activity against global Neisseria gonorrhoeae strains has been shown. We present the complete reference genome of the zoliflodacin-resistant strain H035, which was identified in Japan in 2000.
