Complete genome sequence of Shigella flexneri strain P099 from the gum of an adult rhesus monkey, Macaca mulatta, with gingivitis

Shigella flexneri was associated with gingivitis, a periodontal disease, in the rhesus monkey. We report the circularized 4.8-Mbp complete genome of Shigella flexneri strain P099 isolated from the gum of an adult rhesus monkey, Macaca mulatta, with clinical symptoms of gingivitis.

Automated summary
