Abstract

We provide the complete genome of a non-toxigenic Clostridioides difficile strain isolated from horse feces. The strain represents a sub-cluster in the cryptic clade C-III. The genome consists of one chromosome (4,144,784 bp) and one plasmid (10,144 bp) and encodes 3,798 putative genes.

Keywords: Clostridioides difficile; cryptic C-III strain; horse feces; non-toxigenic strain.
