Complete Genome Assemblies of Three Highly Prevalent, Toxigenic Clostridioides difficile Strains Causing Health Care-Associated Infections in Australia.

ABSTRACT: Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is the leading cause of life-threatening health care-related gastrointestinal illness worldwide. Phylogenetically appropriate closed reference genomes are essential for studies of C. difficile transmission and evolution. Here, we provide high-quality complete hybrid genome assemblies for the three most prevalent C. difficile strains causing CDI in Australia.
